There Is A Purpose In Every Struggle And Storm

There Is A Purpose In Every Struggle And Storm

Abba Father, My God, I rise to this day with the acute awareness that You are always with me no matter where I am or what I am going through. I am even more aware that the troubled heart of a believer will cause one to reflect on Your goodness and mercy during the times some call the good old days. Father, I realize You are still merciful, faithful, and gracious to me, my family, my loved ones, and all those for whom I pray without ceasing and that there is a purpose in every struggle and storm. The things we go through are not punishment as some may think, in comfort and anguish we seek relief when we call out to You for forgiveness of sins and deliverance and transformation. Father, I ask You, in the name of Jesus Christ, to speak to me so that I hear and understand Your will and purpose for my life each moment I live, so my living is not in vain. Be glorified in me and through me while I walk the Path of Life being a willing vessel and instrument to be used by You. Whenever storm clouds rise, the winds of change blow and my load gets a little heavy, let me never forget You are doing a new thing in me and through me, so I do not complain. Father, I am here in our Most Sacred Place waiting and calling out to You, asking You to lead and guide me by Your Spirit as You show me the way I am to go, teaching me how to move forward, doing only that which I am created to do, and speaking only the words which Your Spirit whispers in my ears. My hands are stretched out to You without ceasing, I am assured by the teaching and guidance of Your Spirit I will better understand that the purpose in every struggle and storm is a refining process that purifies my heart and deepens my relationship with You. Therefore, I continue this pilgrimage with every struggle and storm You give me more determination to do Your will, You strengthen me, and give me power to withstand every attack of the enemy because I am certain that there is more with me than there are against me. I am surrounded by a Divine Hedge Of Protection, a band of angels, and all of heaven’s hosts. My heart may be burdened sometimes, but I know You as my Burden-Bearer, I refuse to worry because I trust You, and I believe every promise You and Jesus have ever made. I thank You and praise You for being with me, I am at peace because You know what is best. Hallelujah, Amen!

Isaiah 30:20-21 ESV: And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Philippians 4:5-7 ESV: Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Grand Rising! Good Morning to you on this blessed day. Remember, “Death cannot separate us from God's love. Divine love is stronger than death. So, Jesus commands his disciples to have this deeper relationship. They are not his slaves, but his friends. As his friends, they know what is on the Father's heart, and they are committed to displaying the Father's priority in their own lives. Abundant blessings. Be blessed, do not be distressed, be refreshed, and bask in God’s presence!

FYI: Prayer is free. So was the word of God until man transcribed it from the scrolls putting their twist on it, then it became for sale; this displeases God. We do know right from wrong whether we do it or not, God put it in our hearts before we were born. Please share with those who are open to receiving the word of our Lord and Savior, the way of salvation, and all of God’s blessings.
