"They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."" Acts 14:22
Wouldn't it be nice if everything we did was easy? This is the teaching of the culture today, everyone wants the easy way out. If we never face adversity we will never know how to persevere and overcome what ever obstacles are placed in front of us. Hardships slow us down and cause us to reflect upon the situation, what do I need to do or change? The road to eternity is narrow and we will face many hardships along this road. Stay the course, trust in God and pray for the strength to overcome the obstacles placed in front of you. The prize is the Kingdom of God, Jesus died on a cross to return home, do you think you are just going to walk in without suffering or sacrifice?
Dear Lord God, Your timing is always perfect and You know how to strengthen my spirit when things get tough. I thank You for the grace to turn to you in good times and bad. Prayers for those going through hardships, prayers for those finding it easy. Help us store up consolation for our times of need. Bless this day and Thank You for loving me, a sinner in need of change. To God be the glory, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Innocent, pray for us.
