TROUBLES

EZEKIEL 16:61,63 (CEV)
When you think about how you acted, you will be ashamed... I will forgive you, but you will think about your sins and be too ashamed to say a word. I, the Lord God, have spoken.

2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 (CEV)
Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let your troubles drive you closer to God.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for steering me in the right direction. I admit that I allow the troubles I experience to get to me. Please give me divine insights that will free me to trust you in the midst of the stressful times. I want to allow the difficulties to strengthen my faith rather than drive me away. 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.
