Joy In Every Storm



Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.  For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.  So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

--James 1:2-4 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,



In every situation, in any storm that comes, help me never lose my joy!


I know that troubles will come my way, because no one is exempt.  But help me look for the good that You will bring out of every situation.

Help me to consider troubles as opportunities for me to have great joy in You, knowing You will go with me, that You will teach me, and that You will help me to grow as I allow You to carry me through the midst of the trouble.

When the enemy comes against me with trials and temptations to try to steal my joy, help me to pass the testing of my faith.

Help me to trust You with patient endurance—not just pretending to be happy—but remaining truly joyful, looking to You to rescue me, so I can become the mature and complete person that You want me to be.


In every situation, in any storm that comes, help me never lose my joy!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
