Just remember the storm is never over as long as we are in the flesh, so our connection with God must never be broken. We have to remember it’s about Him, not about us, so adversity is our reminder. If our life was perfect we would not see a real need to pray, worship, or study the Word. Our sinful nature would have no use for God.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Father, You know the plans You have for us, a plan for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and hope. Lord, It is Your Spirit that gives us life; the flesh is no help at all. The Words that You have spoken to us are filled with spirit and life. Lord, You abide in us, and we in You. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can we, unless You abide in us. You are the vine; we are the branches and we cannot develop Fruit without the nourishment of the Spirit. So baptize us in the Holy Spirit that gives us hope, peace, guidance, protection, wisdom, and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives, in Jesus name Amen
