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 to keep doing what is right and to trust You with my life—regardless of any momentary suffering I may be called on to endure—as by Your unfailing faithfulness, You ultimately work all things together for my good.
Through the repeated
accounts of Your unfailing love and faithfulness found in the Holy Scriptures, You
have shown me that You—the giver and sustainer of my life—can be completely
trusted to order each and every step of my way.
Through the experience of
my own life, You have repeatedly proven that my trust in You is not misplaced—for You have turned every
time of suffering that I have experienced to my ultimate 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 to keep doing what is right and to trust You with my life—regardless of any momentary suffering I may be called on to endure—as by Your unfailing faithfulness, You ultimately work all things together for my good.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
