That is why we keep on talking to God about you since the day we heard about you. We ask him that you may know everything he wants you to do. We ask him that you may be very wise and that the Spirit will help you to understand.
We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God. God has wonderful power. And we ask him to give you all the strength you need to go through all your troubles, to be very patient in them, and to be happy. Thank the Father who has made us ready to be with the people of God who live in his light.

Colossians 1:9-12

 

DAY 19—We find grace to endure any trial.

 

Out of the power of Heaven’s Kingdom we find the grace to endure trials. Sometimes we dwell under a dark cloud of satanic trouble for a long time before coming to the realization that there is a design upon us, put there by the devil to bring us down. Our plea is that the Lord will deliver us from this evil. We need that operation of the Holy Spirit called “the discerning of spirits” in order to discern what is happening so we can command the intruding spirits to go in Jesus’ Name.

Matthew 6:13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (from the evil one): For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
[LRT] And, lead us not into trials which we have not the grace to bear, but rescue us from the evil one. Because the Kingdom is Yours, and the Power, and the Glory unto (the end of) the ages.

 

I Corinthians 10:13There hath no temptation (trial) taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer (allow) you to be tempted (tried) above that ye are able; but will with the temptation (trial) also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(MSG) No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it.

 

FATHER, trials seem to be my way of life. Please give me the grace to endure them. Help me learn from whatever comes. I will receive the tests as from Your loving hand, not as from the hand of the enemy. Please sanctify whatever the trial may be that comes my way.

Trials will work in a child of God to produce an enduring faith.—Hebrews 11:1-7
