Those God intends to use in special ways usually experience the greatest challenges. The challenges are designed by the enemy to short-circuit God’s purpose in our lives, but God has a better plan. He takes the very thing the enemy intends to use to destroy us and uses it to develop our character and our faith. God is preparing you for something special!
“‘You are my servant; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.’”
–Isaiah 41:9-10 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus I pray for that person who is hanging on by a thread. Strengthen them and deliver them. May they come out of this fiery trial equipped for special service. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
