Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (James 1:3 KJV)

LET US PRAY: Lord, I know that often You bring Your children to troubled waters not to drown us but to cleanse us. I know that Your grace doesn't take Your children to a place where Your love will not protect us. I know that Your ways are subtle; difficult to understand or analyze, but it is never malicious; intended to bring harm to Your people. Lord, I know that You cut down the proud and exalt the humble. Lord, may I always rejoice in my trials because I know that You are blessing me with humility and patience. Lord, as I never lose my faith in us, never take Your eyes away from me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
