So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.—1 Peter 4:19 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me not to allow my trust in You to be dependent upon the circumstances or situations that I may find myself in, but rather help me to trust You at all times—believing that You will never fail me.
Within Your Word—through the
repeated accounts of Your unfailing love and faithfulness—You have shown me
that the God who gave me life can be completely trusted to order each and every
step of my life.
Through the experience of
my own life, You have repeatedly proven that my trust in You is not misplaced—for
You have used every time of suffering that I have experienced to bring me good.
So, help me not to allow
my faith and trust in You to waver when I suffer—when life gets tough—and help
me to continue doing that which is right and good regardless of my
circumstances.
For I know that if I am truly
trusting You, I will not be anxious or afraid, I will not be overwhelmed with
sadness or defeated by depression, and I will not be ruled by hatred, anger, or
vengefulness.
If I trust You, You will
sustain me in every way—no matter what I am facing—with Your faithful promises,
unimaginable peace, unquenchable joy, and unfailing love.
Help me not to allow my trust in You to be dependent upon the circumstances or situations that I may find myself in, but rather help me to trust You at all times—believing that You will never fail me.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
