A Beautiful Morning Prayer
*Relax** your mind and **humble** your heart to focus on **
Christ.** Allow **God** to be the only person on your mind while you read
this **prayer**. If we can take the time to read long **jokes**, stories**,
etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends, who pray
together, stay together.*
If you pray this prayer,* change the number* in the subject box before
forwarding the mes sage so people can SEE how many people have done so. *
**Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an
understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not
pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. **
**
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with
a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and
every day to clear my mind so tha t I can hear from You.
**Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
**Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me
continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when
I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive
the forgiveness of God.
**
**And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to
slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm
pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my
heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.
**
**Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong
that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of
encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their
way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those
who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without
sharing it w ith others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you
that I believe.
**
**I believe that God changes peopl e and God changes things. I pray for all
my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their
households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out
of debt and all their needs are met.
**
**I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
cir tance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands
for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of
every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly..
**
**This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Ty Kim Delaney for sending me that.. GBU :+) *

Why does God allow us to go through trials and tribulations?
Answer: One of the most difficult parts of the Christian life is the fact that becoming a disciple of Christ does not make us immune to lifes trials and tribulations. Why would a good and loving God allow us to go through such things as the death of a child, disease and injury to ourselves and our loved ones, financial hardships, worry and fear? Surely, if He loved us, He would take all these things away from us. After all, doesnt loving us mean He wants our lives to be easy and comfortable? Well, no, it doesnt. The Bible clearly teaches that God loves those who are His children and He works all things together for good for us (Romans 8:28). So that must mean that the trials and tribulations He allows in our lives are part of the working together of all things for good. Therefore, for the believer, all trials and tribulations must have a divine purpose.
As in all things, Gods ultimate purpose for us is to grow more and more into the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). This is the goal of the Christian, and everything in life, including the trials and tribulations, is designed to enable us to reach that goal. It is part of the process of sanctification; that is, being set apart for Gods purposes and fitted to live for His glory. The way the trials accomplish this is explained in 1 Peter 1:6-7: In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. The true believers faith will be made sure by the trials we experience so that we can rest in the knowledge that it is real and will last forever.
Trials develop godly character, and that enables us to rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us (Romans 5:3-5). Jesus Christ set the perfect example. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). These verses point out aspects of His divine purpose for both Jesus Christ's trials and tribulations and ours. Persevering proves our faith. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).
At the same time, we must be careful never to make excuses for our trials and tribulations if they are a result of our own wrongdoing. By no means let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler (1 Peter 4:15). God will forgive our sins because the eternal punishment for them has been paid by Christs sacrifice on the cross. However, we still have to suffer the natural consequences in this life for our sins and bad choices. But God uses even those sufferings to mold and shape us for His purposes and our ultimate good.
Trials and tribulations come with both a purpose and a reward. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him (James 1:2-4,12).
Through all of lifes trials and tribulations, we have the victory. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ. These verses encourage us to see that although we are in a spiritual battle, Satan has no authority over the believer in Christ. God has given us His Word to guide us, His Holy Spirit to enable us, and the privilege of coming to Him anywhere, at any time, to pray about anything. He has also assured us that no trial will test us beyond our ability to bear it, and he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
