Scripture: Romans 5: [3] Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; <\/p>\n
Observation: I wish I did rejoice in suffering, instead I dwell on it most of the time and even the thought I might undergo suffering makes me worry. God does use what I went through to bless others and glorify Him. This weekend I\u2019m going to share my testimony on depression and start a class that will help others see God in their lives. I\u2019m going to need for God to work in my life that my suffering produces perseverance and that I will continue to do God\u2019s will in my life.<\/p>\n
Application: When I would go through struggles God put Proverbs 3:5,6 in my heart so that I would trust in Him and that is what I need to do each day. No matter what might come up in my life I need to know God is working and to trust in Him to show me what He desires. I need to realize I\u2019m here for God to use, that I have a purpose and that purpose does not need to be revealed to me right away and to trust in God each day to follow Him.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord help me please do your will. Give me wisdom and strength to teach this class that you put on my heart. I need you to take over that you would increase and that I will decrease. Help me glorify you and help your children. May I be a comfort to them as you are a comfort to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
