REDEMPTION IN THE FACE OF TRIBULATION

    

Heavenly Father,

You know the storms that are raging against me, and despite the storms that I face Lord, I will not become embittered against You.  Would that I respond to hardship like Job who refused to doubt Your goodness in the face of relentless tragedy and loss.  

For I know that my Redeemer lives.  Jesus, You are my Redeemer, You are my stronghold.  My heart's desire is to be more like You.  Oh Lord, perform Your redemptive work in me, but please give me Your strength to hold on until the end.  

As gold is refined in the fire, purge me of anything that tarnishes Your character in me.  I look forward to the day when I will be able to see the changes You have made in me.  Oh Lord shape me and mold me until I look just like You.  

Although I may not understand the reason why I'm in this situation, or why I am going through, one thing I do know; You are good and Your mercy endures forever, and You will never put more on me than I can bear.  Therefore, I will not give up, I will not give in, and allow the enemy to win this battle.  I will not allow the hardships that I am facing to dictate to me my emotions and responses.  Jesus, I rest myself in Your care, knowing that You are with me no matter what trials come my way. I trust You Lord, You are in complete control of my life and I even though I don't understand what You are doing, I have faith in You and I know that You know what You are doing.  I surrender all to You.
