Devotional Reflection

JoyPeaceGratitudeHope

All consolation comes from God (cf. 2 Cor. 1). Even though He is relentless in dealing with our sin and resistance, it is for our benefit. It will only persist for a brief time before giving way to joy. Please don't give up if you are going through a period of discipline or are dealing with the harsh repercussions of sin. Morning will break, and with it will come God's grace. It's well worth the wait!

Prayer

Father, please bless Your children who are suffering challenges and struggles. Please help them survive through "the night" so that when Your morning arrives, they can experience the wonderful happiness that lies ahead. Please bless the following persons, my Lord, and help them find Your joy. . . . In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
