Day 19 - James 1:12
My heart is heavy this morning as I pray for a precious friend who is possibly facing serious problems in her pregnancy. My words are few this morning, but I am challenged by this thought. What comes out of our mouths when we get horrible news?
Another friend and I prayed over her yesterday in a parking lot as our kids were screaming and yelling from their car seats. The two of us appealed to the God of the universe on their behalf. We begged God for things and claimed this promise and that promise but I was amazed when my friend prayed, the one facing the danger, what came out of her mouth was praise. She simply thanked God for who he was and what he meant in her life.
What an example!
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trail, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12
