Count it all joy
James 1:2-3
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience
There are some weeks that that there is so much pressure. You are unable to finish your school assignment because you get home late and tired due to heavy traffic. Your teacher or lecturer decides to fail you in that paper
Your presentation slides get mixed up and illegible as a result of a computer fault and your boss takes it out on you because it causes the company to lose funds.
Your church auditorium gets flooded and you cannot find anywhere to hold service. Most of the congregation goes back home.
These are just a few examples of things that can go wrong in a week. The Apostle James says you should not get over anxious and fret, see it as a test God is using to refine your character.
Ask God to help you recover what you have lost during the week by making you over- perform in the following week to cover your losses.
God be with you
Suggestions for success
1. Ask God to help you not to respond to anyone rudely because of what happened.
2. Accept the blame for whatever happened and ask God to help you fix the damages
Prayer
Let this be your prayer and confession
I am trusting thee Lord Jesus
Trusting only thee
Trusting thee for full salvation
Great and free. Amen
