So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” [Hebrews 13:6 (NLT)]

Thank you, God, for the trials and adversities in our lives. Help us to celebrate them and not cower in the face of them. Let us rejoice in their challenges and in the knowledge that we are not alone. You, Lord, are with us so there is nothing to fear. Our God is greater than all of our problems!

Anything that makes us cry out to God can be counted as a blessing! [Mary Southerland]
