God Helps in Troubling Times
Apostle James shows how true
faith produces doers of the Word
and bear fruit in actions & deeds.
James offers many tests for genuine
faith: It endures trials, obeys
the Word, harbours no prejudice,
controls the tongue, is separated
from the world & resists the devil.
Above all, faith waits patiently
for the coming of the Lord.
Lord, we’ll Believe & Persevere:
Consider it pure joy whenever
You face trials because the
testing of Your faith produces
Perseverance. Let perseverance
finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything (Jas 1:2-4).
If any of you Lacks Wisdom,
he should Ask God,
who gives generously to all
without finding fault, and
it will be given to him (v5).
But when he asks, he must
Believe and Not Doubt… Let not
(the) man (who doubts) suppose he
will receive anything from the Lord;
(for) he is double-minded…(v6-8).
Lord, grant me the hallmark of my
faith be the ability to face troubles
with Your perspective in mind.
Grant me Lord the ability to
face troubles with Your grace.
Help me to hold on to Your promise
so that when my faith is tested,
Endurance has a chance to grow,
and I will be Complete In You. Amen.
Lord, thank You that Your Word
promises that You will give
wisdom to us when we ask for it.
So I Ask For Wisdom, for I know
true wisdom comes only from You.
Help me to be wise in daily decision
especially when I must act quickly.
Help me to know what to do & what
not to do in any situation. Amen.
Lord, we note in Your Word that
when we ask, we must Believe
and Not Doubt. So help me Lord
not to be double-minded, but
to set my mind fully on You Lord.
And even as I choose to believe,
I trust that You will keep me from
error, guide me into truth and
I will be Complete In You. Amen.
