Daily Prayer for July 16th, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You for this Monday!! 🙂
When I’m hard-pressed on every side, You keep me afloat, because I know that I have been justified through faith and have peace with You through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whom I have gained access by faith into this grace in which I now stand. Therefore, with You, suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Thank You for pouring Your love into my heart through Your Spirit. You are amazing!! In Jesus name. Amen.
Romans 5:1-5 New International Version (NIV)
Peace and Hope
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Romans 12:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
