Day 23 - Prayer Journal: Soul Survivor

Scripture
"When you pass through the waters, I [will be] with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." - Isaiah 43:2

Let's face it, our country has seen some difficult times. We have been bombarded with news of rising unemployment, mounting debt, and turmoil within the families of our nation. It would be enough to discourage you. The world has no answers and people are running back and forth looking for a way of escape. But the word of God guarantees believers that we will survive every natural disaster, destruction, and difficulty because God is with us and He is our protection.

Jesus loves us, and every situation that we encounter He is there to face it before us. Trials and tribulations will come, but we come through the fire untouched, like gold, refined. There is a comfort in knowing that no matter what attacks we face or what fiery dart the enemy throws our way, we have a loving Savior who is with us all the way, even to the end of the earth.

Focus

• Thank God for His constant presence in your life.
• Ask God to show you times that appear bleak but He is with you.
• Pray for grace and strength to walk through the trial full of faith and rejoicing.
• Pray for revelation for someone who is going through a tough trial and needs the comfort of knowing God is with them.
• Praise God for coming out the other side of the fire.
• Ask God to give you understanding and revelation about what you needed to learn from your trials.

Remember

God did not plan any defeat for you. Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished." With this testimony, He guaranteed that there would be nothing in this world that could stand against Him. As His child He stands before you leading, guiding, and protecting you. Count your self worthy to be used by God.

Amen!
