*JANUARY 15



USE YOUR TRIALS AND TROUBLES TO DRAW closer to Me. When you view troubles in this way—as reminders to draw near to Me—you can actually rejoice in your trials. Reach into your arsenal of prayers, and speak one or more of them boldly—the enemy will retreat, and I will draw near.



Don’t run from Me. Draw near to Me—and I will draw near to you.



MEDITATION:

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,”

—James 1:2



“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”

—Psalm 143:8



“Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.”

—Psalm 27:11



“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

—James 4:7-8



TODAY:

Our genuine faith will praise, glorify and honor God in all circumstances. That is why we consider it pure joy when our perseverance is being tested. It strengthens our character traits to be more Christ-like.



PRAY:

Father in Heaven, I AM grounded in your presence experiencing supernatural strength, peace and hope in my inner being. My mindset is to continually grow spiritually drawing closer to you. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!



✝️🔥❤️

Trust in God’s supreme power over the universe and His divine purpose for your life.



“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”

—John 15:11
