"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
- Romans 5: 1-5 (ESV)
Father, thank you for the hope that we can have in you because of Christ! Thank you for loving us so much. When the road we travel gets so hard to walk may we look to you for guidance and strength. May we know that you have a plan for our lives and remember this verse. I pray that we would know Romans 5: 1-5 is the absolute TRUTH and find comfort in what it reveals. Thank you for using suffering for a purpose; that you are not a God that enjoys inflicting pain on his people. Thank you for your compassion! I pray that I would come to the place of hope in your glory and not hope in the desires of this world. I thank you for slowly revealing my worth in eternity and that I have come to understand it is there I need to be focused! Not on what my worth is here! Thank you for teaching me something new everyday!
In Christ's name, Amen.
