Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard
thing; it is the ability to turn it into glory.
We have all probably discovered that the hardest times to remember the basic truths of God’s Word are during periods of pain or difficulty. With the right attitude we can make it a habit to view every situation through the filter of God’s perspective. As the duration of the difficult times extend the only way to endure and feel comforted is to rely on God and the support of The Holy Spirit.
And we know [with great confidence]
that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together
[as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according
to His plan and purpose
ونحن
نعلم ان كل الاشياء تعمل معا للخير للذين يحبون الله الذين هم مدعوون حسب قصده.
Romans 8:28 AMP
If we believe that God will bring good out of the
situation somehow, then pessimistic thinking finds no permanent home in our
hearts. When we adopt the right attitude, over time, our emotions will
gradually align with the truth, and we will be able to endure.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You
strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can
have Your divine perspective
and the right attitude. Lord, please keep me away from discouragement, worry, and self-sufficiency.
Lord, please help me to focus on You instead of my circumstances so that I can
endure. I know that when I am hurting it does not mean that You do not care
about me. Your promises are true Lord, and I am confident that You will change
all my circumstances to work for Your glory and my good, joy and peace. Abba
Father, thank You that Your deep, unfailing, steadfast love for me endures
forever. Thank You Father for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the
riches of Your grace upon my life. I will rejoice in The Lord. In the name
of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I pray. To Jesus be the power, the
glory, the majesty, and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
