“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed,' we are perplexed; but not in despair,' Persecuted; but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed,' Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body, “ 2 Corinthians 4:7-10
Righteous Father, JSS knows what an honor it is to be Your servant, holding forth Your Word of Life to a crooked and perverse generation. Keep JSS from all grumbling, complaining and murmerings as he/she does Your will and to rejoice in You always.
JSS knows that whenever he/she complains, his/her spirit becomes agitated. (Psalms 77:3)
JSS knows that this is not Your will for him/her, because You want JSS to walk in peace. Peace comes to JSS whenever he/she submits to Your will and trust in You.
LORD, when Your people complained against You in the days of their wandering in the wilderness, it displeased You. (Numbers 11:1)
Help JSS always to remember that You see him/her and hear him/her wherever he/she is. (Exodus 16:8-9)
JSS never wants to displease You in thoughts, words or actions.
JSS realizes, LORD, that murmerers and complainers are walking after their own lusts. (Jude 16)
This is so far removed from Your ways and Your words. Whenever JSS hears someone complaining, help him/her to keep from entering into their ways, but to remember Your ways and to follow Your ways. Help JSS to encourage those who are negative by always exhibiting a positive faith in You.
Instead of complaining, JSS will remember Your benefits to him/her. (Psalms105:2)
JSS will review the many ways in which You have dealt bountifully with him/her.
(Psalms116:7)
Thank You for Your grace and Your love, Father.
Keep JSS positive, Father. Instead of getting caught up in the negative forces of life, JSS wants to think about the good things of You. You are good, Father, and greatly to be praised. (Psalms 48:1)
Nothing is Impossible with You. (Matthew 19:26)
Any sufferings in this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory You will reveal. (Romans 8:18)
Because You have set Your love upon JSS he/she will serve You with joy. When times get hard, JSS will continue to call upon You. JSS knows You will answer him/her and You will be with him/her in times of trouble. You will deliver him/her from grumbling and complaining. With long life You will satisfy JSS and show Your salvation unto him/her. (Psalms 91:15-16) Thank You, LORD. Amen and Amen
