TOUGH TIMES

PSALM 138:7 (ABP)
Lord, even though I'm going through some tough times, you continue to keep me alive.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:4 (NLT)
In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
We patiently endure the tough times because we know that God will carry us through and we'll end up in an even better spot.

PRAYER
God, you patiently persevere through the suffering that we direct your way. Then, in your love you overcome and carry us through our difficulties. Forgive me for losing perspective and whining my way through the hard times. Help me to patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. I'm going to trust that you are carrying me through the chaos and pain. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
