JOURNAL

Answer these questions in your journal. 


LOOKING BACK:

Who has ministered more intimately to you than anyone?  Who has been that one person who understands your situation; the one who has experienced similar trials and feelings?  Let thanksgiving well up in you mind and heart for those who’ve prayed you through your most difficult times.  Please remember this as well; during the worst trials we feel as though no human on earth truly understands what we’re going through.  This is true ...  with one exception - Jesus Christ, the Son of Man.   


LOOKING AHEAD:

Now look ahead and prayerfully consider those for whom the Lord may call you to pray.  Allow for God’s fresh empowerment.  Pray for others and experience the joy of the Lord.


God doesn’t waste our hard times.  What afflictions, trials and generally rough roads have you traveled that enable you to identify with people in similar situations? 


“Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”  (2Cor. 1:4)
