Hymn: 415 'I Can't Live Without You'
Meditation: To turn suffering into blessing, prayer is absolutely necessary. In any difficult situation, you should open your mouth and pray to the Lord.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “If any of you lacks wisdom, to God, who gives generously to all without finding fault” (James 1:5).
How does God respond to those who pray during hardship? He said that he gives generously to all and does not rebuke. He is a God who gives everything without discrimination to everyone who asks for it. God grants wisdom to those who have been subjected to a small test if they ask for it, and to those who meet a great test, if they ask God, God will give them the wisdom they need and abundant wisdom. Even those who have believed for a long time will receive it if they ask for it, and even those who have not believed for a while will receive it if they ask for it. It is given to those who cry out and cry out loudly, but God hears all of them and gives them without discrimination, even if they pray earnestly in silence because they are clumsy in prayer.
It is said that God gives and gives generously. If you ask for one, they give you ten. He is a God who always wants to give us more. It was when Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings to God. God appeared to him and asked him. "What shall I give you? You ask me." Solomon answered. "Lord, your servant is a small child. I need to lead so many people in the right way in the will of God, but I lack wisdom. So please give me a wise heart."
God gave Solomon the wisdom he sought. Did you just give me that? He also gave him longevity, wealth, honor, authority, and honor that Solomon did not ask for. He is a God who gives you heat if you ask for one. He is a God who always gives generously.
God pays great attention to us, especially when we ask for help in the midst of suffering. He answers our prayers and gives us the wisdom of life to overcome hardships. Therefore, we should become those who pray to the Lord more in the midst of suffering.
Prayer: We believe that God answers our prayers and answers them generously and abundantly. Give me the faith to trust in God no matter the circumstances. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
