Day 8: All Things Work for Good
SCRIPTURE:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
ROMANS 8:28
PRAYER:
“God, You promise me in Your Word that in all things You work for my good. Right now, there are circumstances in my life that don’t feel good and that I can’t see an ounce of good in (talk to God about the specific situations that are causing you difficulty or pain). Even though this is how I feel, I choose to believe Your truth over my feelings. When You say You will work in all things for my good, I believe You. Even in situations that seem hopeless, I know You are working on my behalf and that You want more for me than I could ever want for myself. Thank You for having a purpose for me and for working all my circumstances for good.”
When you decide to set aside time to pray, do these four steps:
1) Pause. Turn off distractions, notifications, and find a quiet spot to focus for the next few minutes.
2) Listen. Read the Scripture, use the provided prayer, or make up your own, but use this time to hear from God. What is standing out to you? What is God saying to you?
3) Obey. Based on your prayer time, what is God inviting you to do? How can you obey? Come up with something specific (small and simple is great)
4) Share. Who does God want you to share this with? Share with them what stood out to you from today, or share with them whatever God put on your heart.
