"In my distress I called out: LORD! I cried out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry to him reached his ears." Psalms 18:7
"Thy will be done." Where does your strength come from? This coming week we begin Holy Week, Jesus rides in on a donkey in peace, to be crucified on a cross by the end of it. Jesus lives the life He wants us to live, He walked the way of the cross His entire life, like we are suppose too. The challenges and victories we face each day, we are to turn to God before responding and to give thanks for His help after. He is there to help us along the way of life. Is it always fair? NO. Is the outcome always in our favor? NO. I need to remember that a man died for my sins so that I may live forever. In the remembrance of Jesus's passion, when He was beaten to a pulp, when He was spat on, when He carried His cross, When He was nailed to it, He always looked to Heaven for His strength. In your distress do you look to heaven, accept the trials and seek God's help or do you fight back with your will and not His?
Dear Lord, I look to You this morning for Your will. I thank You for this day with what ever comes my way. Help me not create any of my own challenges. May I seek Your counsel to avoid the pitfalls of the devil. May I walk like Your Son Jesus, may I respond like Your Son Jesus, May I get up when I fall down and may I never forget to do Your will. You are my strength, I cry to You and thank You for placing Your love in my heart. Prayers for a man who recently lost his wife, may he embrace Your love and find peace in the joys You have given Him. There is joy in suffering when done for Your will and the salvation of souls. To God be the glory now and forever, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Victories, pray for us.
Mother of Good Counsel, point us to Jesus.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
