Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith, develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-3

Many times we begin our prayers with whining and complaining, about our need or situation, instead of praying with faith, anticipation and thanksgiving to God, for what we know He is about to do. It is difficult to face bad situations with joy. We must remember, that God is compassionate, and desires to meet our every need. He hears our prayers, and knows before we even begin to ask. In order to drive a car, we must pass a test and obtain a license, to prove that we have the ability, to handle the responsibility of driving the vehicle. If we want to walk in faith instead of simply talking it, then we have to pass the test. The test of our faith, that produces in us, the resolve that will see us through, and generates a faith that is not swayed by circumstance, and believes beyond what is seen, to what will be. God is not moved by our begging and pleading, but by our faith the mountain is removed.

Prayer
Jesus help us to consider it all joy, every situation and problem we face, knowing that you are working, to create lasting benefits in us. Make us complete, not lacking anything. We choose today, to believe in your word and not doubt in our hearts. We thank you for hearing and answering, our every prayer. We give you all the glory. Amen.
