ANGUISH PAIN AND PEACE

Jonh 16:21"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

Sometimes we have to go through pain and anguish to get to the next phase of our journey, Jesus suffered to free us; and then He moved to the next phase of His purpose.  But, because of His relationship with our Father, He had comfort and peace in His time of suffering; and we too have to share in His suffering, and we need a relationship with our Father so He will help us bear our cross.

Oh, God, thank You for the comfort You give, and the peace You have brought to our lives.  Lord, we thank You for peace, while You help us bear our day to day walk.   Often time Lord, Your goodness comes disguised as pain and anguish; but, we know Lord, You are the architect who can build temples out of rubble and adversity.  Father, right now our Souls are ripped with anguish, so please create a better tomorrow from the pain and suffering of today.  Father, we thank You for another day; because so many did not make it, so thank You for keeping us.   Father, we ask that You intercede in the self-destruction of ourselves, through the senseless gun violence.  Lord, we ask that You come into our young people lives, and give them a purpose for living; provide them with guidance and help them mature Spiritual.  Father, help us become people with Christ-like character; people who are submissive and honor Your Word.  Lord, forgive us of our sins as we forgive those who sins against us, please give us Your strength.  Thank You, for provisions, protection, and grace; as well as life health, and favor, in Jesus name we pray Amen
