Saturday, September 26. GOD is still speaking. (Daily Devotional, Prayers and Self-Improvement from MASTER SPEAK THY SERVANT HEARS by AL ADELUWOYE) “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:4 NKJV) My child, enduring difficult times with faith and patience shapes your character. Perseverance isn’t just about getting through something; it’s about allowing the experience to refine and strengthen you. The goal of patience or perseverance is growth. When you face challenges, I use those moments to teach you, stretch you, and make you more like Me, becoming more grounded in faith, stronger in character, and fully equipped to handle life’s challenges with My guidance. Trials can reveal areas where you need to grow and help you develop patience, faith, and resilience. Perseverance isn’t easy, but it leads to something greater—spiritual maturity, wholeness, and a deeper relationship with Me. Peace be with you. See: (Matthew 5:48 and Luke 21:19) Pray for your heart’s desire to your Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, and include the following prayer points: · Thank God for using challenges and trials as opportunities for growth and spiritual maturity. · Pray for the strength and patience to endure difficulties, trusting that God is working through them. · Ask for faith to trust in God’s bigger plan, even when the purpose behind trials isn’t immediately clear. · Pray for God’s wisdom to navigate challenges and make decisions that honor Him. · Surrender to God’s refining process, asking Him to complete the work He is doing in your life so you may be “mature and complete, not lacking anything.” · Pray for a deeper awareness of God’s presence and guidance during difficult seasons, knowing He is with you every step of the way.
