Grace beyond Suffering
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.—1 Peter 5:10 (NIV)
O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.—1 Kings 18:37 (NLT)
In our world filled with distractions, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice. To bend your ear toward Him, bookend your day with prayer. Dedicate the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of every day as your special meeting time with God. Remain spiritually alert; God speaks to us in unexpected ways.
Dear Lord, I know You hear my prayers. Help me to tune my ear to hear Your answers.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.—1 Peter 5:10 (NIV)
For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?—Deuteronomy 4:7 (KJV)
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.—2 Timothy 2:24 (NIV)
