For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self? For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he ... -
In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to Yahweh; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign. But Hezekiah didn't reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem. However, Hezekiah humbled hi...

Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don't make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!" When he saw that, he arose ...

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20-21 WEB.
We have a large oak tree in our yard, and each year, a fresh batch of caterpillars is born into the world. For a few weeks, they crawl about as pitiful little helpless worms stuck in the tree. But eventually, they find a spot to call home, build a cocoon, and shut themselves off from the world. After a few weeks of being alone in the dark, a transformation occurs, and soon the air is filled with butterflies.
In our walk with the Lord, we usually start out excited, but difficult times do come. Rarely is this Christian walk that easy to do, but He is preparing us for something better. The word transform in this verse means to remodel. To take what is already there and make it new again. The Lord does not destroy what we are. He makes us better.
Let the Lord remodel you into something better. Don't give up when you are alone and it seems dark. It's just part of the process. If you give up now, you will miss the most glorious part of your life. Right when the caterpillar thought it was over, it became a butterfly.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose to serve You through the dark times as well as the light. Please grant me the courage and grace to follow You through whatever I may face today. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.'

Yes Lord. You are the potter, I am the clay. Mold me into all that You have for me. Forgive me my sins and heal me for Your namesake. I stand on Your word. This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Your grace is sufficient for me. My hope is in You Lord. I don't go by what I see. I go by Your living word in me. Use me Father to encourage others in Your goodness and mercy. In all the evil in this world, Jesus You are the Light. You are the answer to it all. Through the pain and suffering, the loss, the evil lies and deceptions, You are right here with us. Here I am Lord. Use me for Your will in my life. Bring people to me who are ripe to hear about You Jesus. For You alone are the God who saves.
use me to expose evil wherever it is as Your word says. For You have called us to be more than conquerors. Jesus is Lord.
