Quote:
...strength is the first thing needed. But where is it to be found?
Not in us, nor in the creature; not in human wisdom, or fleshly
sufficiency. Only in Him who hath bought us, and called us, and
washed us. “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.”
Here is the source and secret of our strength. Here is a fullness
truly divine and heavenly, and yet as accessible, as much within
our reach, and at our disposal, as if it were our own; for it is at the
disposal of One who loves us better than we love ourselves. ~ Horatius Bonar

Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD,
and He shall sustain thee.

Prayer:
My Savior,
Thank you for the strength, fortitude and endurance that is
required to overcome. Thank you for loving me more than
I can ever love my own self. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.

Quote:
Just as after a shock of earthquake springs of sweet water sometimes
emerge in desert places, and the arid wastes are irrigated and become
fruitful, so in certain cases the shock of suffering opens up within the
heart of a man hidden springs of living water, and in place of murmurings
and complainings there issue from him streams of gratitude and joy.
~ Sadhu Sundar Singh 1889-1929 - Indian Christian missionary

Romans 5:3-5 NKJV
We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope. Now hope does not
disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Prayer:
My Lord,
The shock of suffering shakes me to the core. It brings great pain but it
also brings to the surface Your life giving waters. Thank You for Your
blessings in the midst of great suffering. Amen.

truth of our faith. ~ John Rogers

Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,

Take my weak faith and make it a strong, enduring faith. May Your

Quote:
The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His
standard very clear. If my relationship to Him is that

because I love someone I have placed in competition
with Him, namely, myself.
