When we are in the middle of suffering, it can feel overwhelming and hard to understand why we’re going through so much. This is the moment to gently remember that God is still working through your pain and can turn it into something meaningful. Pray this with me.

Dear God,

Help me see my current troubles through Your eternal perspective, so that I can trust that the suffering I’m experiencing at this moment is achieving eternal glory. Give me strength to remember that my troubles are temporary and light, and while it does feel heavy, teach me how to deepen my faith that what I’m going through has a deeper purpose beyond just me.

As I experience my day today, show me the ways in which You plan to use my current pain for eternal gain. Thank you for allowing me to walk through this storm, as I know it is what will lead to the eternal glory You have promised me. Help me remember that these light and momentary troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Amen.
