A prayer about Challenges
When I need to accept the difficulties that come into my life
Dear God,
I know that I live in a fallen world. Jesus himself told his disciples that in this world they would have trouble—and I’m having trouble right now. Lord, I don’t like what is happening in my life. I’m struggling, but I know that it’s possible for me to accept my circumstances without liking them. Please help me to remember that I have a glorious future in heaven. As I keep eternity in mind, may I grow through the difficulties I experience now and may I remember that those difficulties will end with this earthly life. Train me to accept what comes from your hand and to trust that you have something to teach me through whatever comes my way.
What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. . . . We believers . . . groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We . . . wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Romans 8:18, 23
