testing of my faith

My wise and trustworthy God, according to Your Word,
trials come to me so that my faith – of greater worth than gold,
which perishes even though refined by fire –
may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory,
and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed {1 Peter 1:7}.

Father, You have told me that the testing of my faith develops
perseverance {James 1:3}.  Please help me to not refuse
to be faithful in tests granted for my gain.

Help me, Lord, not to become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time I will reap a harvest if I
do not give up {Galatians 6:9}.

    Love through obedience overcomes all. Faith and fear cannot co-exist. During this difficult time, you have the ‘promise’ of angels encamped round about you. Also, you have a host of ‘prayer warriors’ holding you up with encouragement, and love. We are His, and He is responsible for us, and He loves us more than we will ever be able to understand. It is not about us and what we do; it is about Him and what He has done, and is continuing to do. Not only is He our Savior, but He is also our BIG BROTHER. Let the ‘bullies’ take up their problems with Him. You and your family are very much loved. Isaiah 41:10-13, Isaiah 58, [very important].
