28 Days to Pray: Day 16

Read Romans 12:12: Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

As you pray today, align your heart to God by surrendering your anxious thoughts and emotions to Him.

And now Lord, I offer You praise. I cannot wrap my mind around Your knowledge, power, or provision, but I can acknowledge that You are able to do more that I can even imagine. So with this heartfelt confession, receive my love and increase my joy that comes only from You.

The more we rejoice in our testings, the more we realize that they are not liabilities but privileges, ultimately beneficial and not harmful, no matter how destructive and painful the immediate experience of them might appear.  – John MacArthur
