The Trying Experiences Of Today

 God's will for all His children is that we rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and in all things to give thanks to Him, even during the inevitable difficulties of life that we all have to face, and in the midst of the various trials that are the portion of all humanity.
 The trial that comes our way is not a stick of punishment from an angry God for our misdemeanors, but the corrective, chastening rod of our loving Heavenly Father Who loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to pay the price for our sin so that by believing in Him, we might receive forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.
 The Trying Experiences Of Today are preparing us for a glorious tomorrow. They are designed to test our faith, develop our faith, hone our faith, and increase our faith in our Father in heaven. The faith of each of His children is valuable to the Lord, more precious to Him than much fine gold, which will one day perish.
 Let us rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all things, even during the trials that come our way:
1 Peter 1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being with us in all our trials. What a blessing to realize that when we go through trials, the end result can be stronger faith which is much more precious than gold. We know the refining process that we are going through is difficult, but we pray that when we have been tried in the fire, our faith would come forth as gold, to Your praise, honor, and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
