The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says we must go through much trouble to enter Your kingdom. Acts 14:22. The apostles did not make the road look easy for the new churches. They told the truth. Trouble is not a sign that the journey went wrong. It is part of the road You set before us. I have known people who were surprised by hard times and walked away because they thought Your promises had broken. I do not want to be one of them. The kingdom is real. The entering is sure. Much of the verse is honest. I have had my share of much. My years have taught me to face what is still ahead without turning back. I am not walking alone. Other people are on this road too. Let me walk it with the people You have given me, with the courage Paul passed on to each new group of believers, with the kingdom in clear view ahead. The road will end at the door. The door will open. The much will have been worth it. Amen.
