A Prayer About Attitude

A prayer about Attitude

When I need a new outlook on my problems

Father,

You are famous for creating something out of nothing. What I see as rubble and wasteland in my own life are the raw materials for your restoration and redemption. Sometimes only this thought helps me maintain a positive attitude through my struggles. It is easy to become bitter, cynical, or even hopeless when life throws hard times my way. But I know, God, that you see them as a crucible refining me and strengthening my character and convictions. Hard times can be your way of turning the raw materials of my life into something useful for you. I can be confident of this because your Word tells me that when I was nobody, a helpless sinner, Jesus died because you saw me as someone created in your image for a purpose. You have already transformed nothing into something in my life, and I praise you for it. Help me to see my problems as opportunities for you to do what you do best!

If we are to share [Christ’s] glory, we must also share his suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. Romans 8:17-18
