Scripture

• James 1:2–8, 12–15

Reflection

• Trials are not interruptions, they are intentional
• Growth doesn’t happen in comfort, it happens in challenge
• God is not trying to break you, He is building you
• What feels like pressure is often preparation for something greater
• The same God who called you to the mountain will give you the strength to reach the top

Prayer

• “God, thank You for being with me, even when things feel hard and confusing.

Sometimes I don’t understand what You’re doing, but I want to trust that You’re still working in me.

Give me the strength to keep going when I feel tired, and help me not give up when things get tough.

Teach me what You want me to learn through this, and grow my faith in the middle of it.

Help me trust You, even when it’s hard.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
