Good morning, Jesus.
Lord God, we’re thankful for the peace we have with You. You have mercifully shown us Your grace when we placed our faith in Jesus for salvation. Fear of life or death is nonexistent since Your Spirit lives within us, assuring us of Your presence. We have Your peace, but life in this fallen world is not always easy. You said You would be with us in suffering, and suffer we do. But in our suffering and trials, we find You faithful to stay by us, carry us when we need carrying and drive away doubts about Your goodness. Use our suffering, our weaknesses, our afflictions to develop perseverance, and thus, more of Your character. And with Your character, we find eternal hope, since Your Spirit lives within us. Through every trial, Your faithfulness reaffirms our decision to follow You was the best choice we ever made, and we have no regrets (Romans 5:3–6). You came to our rescue at the right time, Jesus.
Thankful You are our faithful God when we suffer, always by our side.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
