THINK: Think like Jesus during times of suffering - 1 Peter 4:1-2

Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like Him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want. 1 Peter 4:1-2

LIVING TRUTH:
"Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I Am not alone, because the Father is with Me. I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!” John 16:32-33

Prayer & Praise
In this world, I will face tribulations. But I will take courage because my Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the world! Teach me, Lord Jesus, to be an overcomer by having Your mindset and attitude when I experience times of suffering for doing what God wants, as Peter states in this Holy Scripture. I am deeply thankful for the great suffering You went through for me, allowing Yourself to be tortured and crucified on the cross of death for my sins. Holy Spirit, please remind me that God uses every suffering and pain I experience in life to bring comfort and hope to others who are in pain. Help me to have a rock-solid faith when times of trouble come my way by embracing the mind of Christ. Loving Father, I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, my Savior.
