We have a Personal Trainer who wants us fit for this race of life. God knows our journey will not be easy, no matter how long we're on it. As long as we live, there will always be a battle between our flesh and spirit. This is why we need to practice daily what we have learned. To build endurance for the unpleasant and challenging circumstances of this Valley of death. But, when we are children of God, we're never the victim of our events. Because God always uses our circumstances to strengthen our relationship and faith.
Philippians 4:11-12 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance, and need in any and every circumstance.Father, we know being thankful is a powerful way to connect with You and be strengthened through our circumstances. So, we come to You with thanksgiving; please open Your ears to our prayers. Lord, teach us how to pray without ceasing; in everything, let us give thanks, for this is the will of our Father. Lord, let the power of our rejoicing and our thankfulness be a part of our daily practices. So, we can develop a heart of appreciation and gratitude that will sustain us through every circumstance. Lord, even though things are hard right now, we lift our hands with gratitude. Thank You for maintaining our thoughts of Thanksgiving, even when we instead complain and worry about our circumstances. Father, thank You, we are not a victim of our circumstances; because, You use everything that happens to us for our Spiritual growth and Your glory. Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name Amen
Amen
