THE TESTING OF OUR FAITH

James1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

God, exposes us to temptation, not to lead us into sin, but to afford us an opportunity of exercising and improving our graces and virtues. Hence our Lord declared those to be blessed who were persecuted for righteousness’ sake,  By persecution and affliction; worketh patience — Exercises and thereby increase our patience, through the divine blessing, and your resignation to God’s will, from which many other virtues will flow. But let patience have her perfect work — Let it be duly and fully exercised, that we may mature to the fullest.

Father, You said You will never give us more than we can handle; and You will always give us a way out of temptation.  Lord, Continue ordering our steps, during our test; so we will not stray away from Your path of righteousness.  Lord, keep Your hedge of protection around us as we walk through the valley of death, o we will not fear evil.  Father, thank You for self-control and please remove all demonic Spirits around us' and cancel every generational curse.  Father, thank You for helping us produce steadfastness, so we will stand firmly on Your Word without wavering.   Father, give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of You as we develop Fruit.  Lord, forgive us for not passing Your Word to the next generation and the next,; please intercede right now and help us save our children.  Father, we trust You, Your timing, and Your plan for our lives, in Jesus name Amen
