Prayer Trek Day 8: FAITHFULNESS

REFLECTION:

You have to know that the calling placed on your life will mean you will have to navigate many rocky terrains, many dark places, facing many attacks because we wrestle not against flesh and blood. The enemy only targets those who are doing good work. When you face these trials and tribulations, you will feel the urge to quit, to give in, or to act out of your character. That's when faith comes in. Faith is the idea of going beyond your fears and acting on what God has instilled in you. It’s about taking the first two steps and God taking on the rest. It’s about continuing to move forward because you know that victory is on the other side. 

Remember, as adversity comes, know that in the end, you will be able to tell your testimony and encourage others to stay faithful. 

PRAYER:

God, we thank you for protecting us, for answering our prayers. God, we thank you for our faithfulness to you because without that, we can't commit to anything. God, we love you, we honor you, we praise you. We are all making sacrifices, God, and we hope that you see that. It can be daunting to think about even getting out of the bed and doing other things, being a mom, a wife, a sister, a friend. We work every day and try to carve time out in our lives to be healthy, God, but we know that everything that is great is because of you, God. We ask you to give us strength and courage. 

Most of all, give us courage to know that we were made for this, we are made to be great, we were made to worship you, we were made to be just in the image of you, God. 

We are always going to be careful to give you the praise and the glory, and the honor belongs to you, Jesus. In your name we pray, Amen.
