James 1:2,12, RSV, “Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials … Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.”

Dear Father God, we may find it hard to keep up with the waves and storms, yet we know the greatness of your power. May you let us see your helping and loving hands reaching out to us among those big waves. So that we may not drown from our fears and hesitations. Please instill within us that behind every trial is your great plan for each of us for you only want what’s prosperous for all of us. Bury in us a strong and thankful heart because behind every trial is a great blessing more than we can imagine. Send upon us your Holy Spirit to lead and enlighten us about your ways, even though we may find it hard to comprehend sometimes. Ever loving God, everything here on earth is temporary and it is only you who is eternal. So even in the mourning of death, may we find you and your will. May we overcome and finish every test with a strengthened faith and love of your Holy Name. We ask this in your full glory. Amen.

Philippians 3:13b-14, NIV, “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Dear Father God, we come to you today with a grateful heart for showering us so much blessing and beautifully drowning us in your love. Unveil before us Oh Lord your will so that we may live a life not full of earthly desires and possessions, but instead full of you and you alone. Help us to truly realize that what we have right now are all temporary and that you alone and your Kingdom is eternal. Money, fame, jewelry, house, the people surrounding me and even me myself — all of these will perish. Help us see your genuine gifts and that we may only care about what you have given to us. Help us to resist temptation and any works of evil. Protect us in your might from anything against your power. We lift up everything to you Lord, in Spirit and in truth through your son Jesu...

2 Peter 3:9, NEB, “It is not that the Lord is slow in fulfilling his promise, as some suppose, but that he is very patient with you, because it is not his will for any to be lost, but for all to come to repentance.” Dear God, we thank you for your mercy. Thank you for your beautiful living promise. May we be patient enough to stay in faith and live in your presence until you come again and fulfill your covenant. Thank you for your patience Oh God. Despite our shortcomings in showing gratitude and giving praise to your name, you still have shown us immeasurable grace and love. We believe in your word to prosper us and not to harm us at all. As we walk with your words as our weapon, may we never be discouraged, but instead become even stronger and bolder warriors of your love. And as we conquer the whole world proclaiming your greatness to every nation as our king and our God, we may come most worthy of claiming our rights as your children. Let your kingdom come and your will be...

Philippians 3:20-21, NIV, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Dear God, keep us close to you. Govern our minds and hearts so whatever we may do be done in the glory and in honor of our savior Jesus Christ. One who forever reigns the heaven and earth. We will wait for His coming for we believe that we will be renewed and cleansed deserving a citizenship in heaven. For this, help us Oh Lord to find enlightenment in your words and that we may be able to put them into action. Grant us a kind, forgiving, honest, patient and loving heart so that we may proclaim your goodness sincerely and truthfully to everyone. Keep us strong for every test that challenges our faith and love in you. We trust in you Oh God always in every step of the way. Amen. Calvary Road Baptist Ch...
