Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. ~James 1:2-4
Dear Lord, whatever trials and temptations come to me today, let me accept them for what they really are: light and momentary afflictions that are achieving for me an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison (2 Cor 4:17). Amen.
