A Prayer to Live in the Lord’s Purpose

Are you facing an enormous storm in your life, and you’re not sure what will get you through it? When riding through any storm, you must remember that God is bigger than your circumstances. The Bible tells us, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD, your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). It’s important to have faith in God even when dealing with any storm in life, but this can be especially difficult when you’re anxious or fearful. This is easier said than done when you think of all the things around that can insight fear and despair. Being anxious-natured can make your problems feel colossal and cause us to lose sight of the one thing that can pull us through – our Father in Heaven. The truth is, we have hope through the promises of God that we can find directly in scripture. Here is a prayer of hope when you’re going through the storms of life.

God isn’t always trying to teach us something new in our trials and hardships. Sometimes, God wants to unlearn certain habits, patterns, and behaviors that hold us back from being our happiest. He also wants us to trust in Him as our protector and a guide for growth. Psalm 91:1-2 says, “Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to Him, ‘You are my defender and protector. You are my God; In You I trust.’”

When you can accept hardships as pathways to peace, not looking at circumstances as forms of defeat but as opportunities for growth and strength, our lives can then be transformed.

Prayer:

Thank You, Lord, for being my redeemer.
While I may be going through an incredible storm right now,
I know that You will not waste my pain.
I know that I can be assured of all things.
I trust in Your promises.
Amen.

None of the storms you will go through in life will be pleasant. They can cause much pain. Yet, even in our regrets, God comforts us with His faithfulness. Whatever battle you are in, you stand victorious when you trust in God. One great way to combat the storms of life is to pray. The great thing about prayer is that it can help us channel a hope that we didn’t even know we could access. Allow the power of prayer to work on your life and watch incredible things happen.
