Father, I worship before You as the sovereign God, the Blessed Controller of all things. You always want what is best. You always know what is best, and You're always able to do what is best for Your obedient trusting children. Nothing is too hard for You.
I rejoice that You promise to cause all things--even things that are contrary to Your ideal will--to fir into a pattern for good for those who Love You. And that this "good"includes becoming more like Jesus! And that somehow my prayers can make a difference in how things turn out and how much I benefit from all that comes my way. Thank You for Your promise. "Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you will honor Me.
Give me grace, Lord, to trust You in each of my trials, large or small--to accept each one and cooperate with You so that I'll grow through it.
Guide me as I bring each problem area to You--my pressures, my finances, my uncertainties, my disappointments and failures (including my failures in relating to people). I trust You to work in my situations and give me practical wisdom in how to handle them. And even more. work in me. I lack power and I don't know what to do, but my eyes are on You.
Do these same things for _____ and _____in their trials.
