“Lord, I do not understand why I have so many crosses, trials and sufferings in my life, but I will continue to be strong and believe that You love me, and that You have a plan for me.”

It is God's presence that gives us courage, and God's love that makes us strong. For as long as we know that we are not alone, and that we are loved by God, we can go through anything, and come out strong and victorious. God's love is greater than the cross!

Let me share this prayer with you: “Because of You, God … I can smile in my storms; I can pray in my persecutions; I can be gracious in my grief; I can dance in my depression; I can praise in my prison; I can sing in my sickness; I can worship in my weakness; I can clap while I bear my cross. Amen.”
