Facing Trials
Whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. – James 1:2-4 (NRSV)
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, you are the creator of this world and all its beauty. You are the God who sees me and the one who made me just for this time and place.
When I am stressed, please give me your peace. Replace the shallow reassurances of the world with your holy presence so my heart will be calm.
Bring peace to my family and friends too. Stifle stress with your joy. Give us a positive outlook on the future and keep us from being pessimistic.
In a world where daily life is often measured by our stress levels, thank you for providing the calm that is beyond all understanding.
In your name, amen.
Footnote: Don’t forget where you came from but never lose sight of where you are going.
