Hope, Tribulation, And Prayer

Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Believers can rejoice in hope because we are saved, forgiven and heaven bound. We have a hope that the world knows nothing about, and we need that hope in times of trouble.

The fury of terrorism is raging like an angry lion, leaving dead bodies in it’s path. It’s causing anxiety around the world and America is another name on the terror list. Though I’m concerned, my hope is in the Lord. The Apostle Paul told us to be patient in tribulation. God knows what is happening.

We need to pray about it. Give it to Jesus. Trust Him and praise Him. Lean on Him during these times. Do you have a consistent prayer life? Prayer is the life line of the believer. Too often it’s neglected.  A lot of people need prayer these days.

James 5:16 . . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
