Daily Prayer for June 20th, 2020
Good morning, God—thank you for another day!! 🙂
I will rejoice in my sufferings because suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and provides hope, which I have through the power of your spirit, the Holy Spirit. Your power is made perfect in weakness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
