*Please make everything easy and simple for me, dear God. I don't like to struggle, and I want constant victory without exerting any effort. Let me go on my way as I let You do everything to keep me secure. I've never heard anyone pray those words, but I have heard people pray in such a way that they were asking for an easy time in life. Too many people want victory without battle, triumph without effort, and ease without labor. God's world simply doesn't function that way.*
*God convicted me of negative thinking. He taught me that if I would stop looking at the hardships and obey Him, He would make a way for me. God wants to bless us and prosper the work of our hands, but we must obey His commandments. He assures us that we can do it: "For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off."*
*Because we spend so much time listening to the negatives and figuring out what can go wrong, too often we forget the promise that His will is not too difficult for us. Instead, it may help if you think of the obvious difficulties as blessings from God.*
*Let's Pray together*
*God of love and compassion, please forgive me for complaining about life being too hard. Forgive me for wanting things to be easy. Lead me wherever You want me to go and, in the name of Jesus, I plead that You will help me rejoice all the way-even in the midst of the problems, because You will be there to help me solve them.*
*Lord Jesus, today we vow to bring all our battles – our anxieties, fears and worries – to You. As we suit up in Your Armor, we pray for the grace of divine wisdom, humility and courage like David. May we proudly confess as he did that You are our strength. Thank You, Father, for arming us with Your strength and power; thank You for showing us the perfect way forward. If You are for us, who dare be against us? We believe and profess that we can do all things in You Who strengthens us,Lord, you are my shield, defender, strength, and security. Your right hand sustains me and you provide a broad path for my feet. Train me to serve and love you.– thanks be to God! It is in Your good and Holy Name we pray, Amen.
