A Scripture and a Prayer: “Blessed Perseverance”

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12)

Prayer:

What a blessing it is to know that You, Lord, are always there during our darkest hours keeping us through life’s difficult trials. And knowing this, we humbly ask that You give us the strength and courage to endure and persevere through it all, knowing that after standing firm on You and Your word through the trial and tribulations of life, that You have laid up for us a crown of life. And the neat part is that the only way we can endure through these tough and difficult times is through our love for You. We love that You said the reason we love You is because You first loved us and gave Your Son, Jesus, to die for our sins so that we can live in Your wonderful presence forever. What a wonderful promise You have made, and may we be faithful to share it with all that we connect with. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
