More than one desperately hurting person has looked me in the eye and said, “I’ve fasted. I’ve prayed. I’ve begged. I’ve believed. I’ve confessed. I’ve done everything anyone has ever told me to do, and look at the mess I’m in.”
You may be struggling with similar feelings right now. For all of your praying and pleading, nothing has changed—or so it seems. In times like these, we have a choice. We can hug our hurts and make a shrine out of our sorrow, or we can offer them to God as a sacrifice of praise. The choice is ours.
“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise…”
— Hebrews 13:15 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, help us to offer You a sacrifice of praise even when life seems to make a mockery of our faith. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
