As children of God, we enjoy God’s blessings as tokens of His love from a father to His children. It is a fact that God is generous to all, but there are exclusive blessings based on His mercies that are enjoyed by His own. We have comfort and are relaxed in His love. However, in the course of our life’s journey, we are bound to encounter certain unpleasant situations. These moments of difficulty will be so tough that we may consider giving up. They might be periods of severe persecution, tragedy, sickness, or loss. Hope begins to wane, and the thought that God has forsaken us begins to fill our minds. We're trying to figure out if we've done something wrong that's causing us punishment. But just like Job, our righteousness in God is assured. Our confidence should be in God’s promises that He would never leave nor forsake us. It might be hard to think like this when we are on the brink of defeat and losing it all. When it looks as if our enemy has the upper hand and we seem to be the object of mockery and ridicule, God is our hope and present help in times of trouble. He will save us in the nick of time when we call upon Him.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the blessings You shower on me. Thank You for the privileges I enjoy as a child of God. I pray that You strengthen me and cause my heart not to fail in times of adversity. Let my faith in You be strong, and let me not doubt that You love me and are always with me. Let me not be continually hunted down like prey by my enemies; intervene and save me, Lord. Help me remember Your promises when my enemies make a mockery of me and make me question the existence of my God. Show up in my defense, Lord, and grant me all-around victory. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
Galatians 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
