MAY 20, 2022 NIGHT PRAYER WITH BIBLE VERSE
Bible Verse For Night Prayer
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: Romans 5:3-4
Today’s Inspiration
John Donne, one of England’s greatest poets and a renowned minister of the Church of England, once wrote in his “Meditation 17” that “affliction is a treasure.” This sounds like a contradiction in terms, but it is really a reminder to “rejoice in our sufferings.” He goes on to explain that every affliction, or tribulation, we endure can be a treasure–if we learn from it. Our sufferings–afflictions–make us more like Christ, who suffered for us.
When we go through tribulations–sickness, rejection, loss–we have a choice to make. We can either wallow in self-pity and give ourselves over to the misery, or we can find strength in our pain. We don’t go through hard times in vain. If we can keep our eyes on God, we will see Him through the pain. Some of the most valuable lessons are learned in the darkest times of our lives.
When we rise from the ashes of our suffering, we learn to persevere. We learn to give hope to others. Our scars make us tougher and give us a powerful testimony. We become more valuable to the kingdom. We become true warriors of God and our scars become our badges of honor.
Night Prayer
Father, I know that I will have to go through suffering in my life. I know that I will have to endure unpleasantness and sometimes pain. I ask, Father, that in those times, You will remind me that You are with me. Give me strength in the midst of my suffering. Turn my afflictions into treasure. In those times of suffering, teach me to persevere. I want to be a warrior for You, God. I want to be valuable to Your kingdom. Amen.
