But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel...and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Philippians 1:12, 14
Sometimes I think that we miss it. We forget that there's an ultimate point to our presence on this earth. There's a reason why we are here that goes far beyond our personal desires and grievances. In the end, it should be our desire that the gospel moves forward. It should be our desire that the "chains" of our life are mere tools God is using to make others confident and bold. We lose sight of the fact that, it's not about us. And so, today's prayer point is pretty simple and to the point. As you go through this day in meditation and prayer, silence the complaints for your suffering and elevate the praise--knowing that there IS a point to all you are going through and that God will get the glory in the end.
Hang in there and be encouraged!
Blessings,
