What words that you find yourself usually using in times of trouble, hardship and temptation in your life?

Is it “Take Me Out, Lord”?

This is exactly what I have been asking God for a couple of weeks. I was struggling with Devil who attacked me in my weakest point. I am a kind of very emotional person, emotional struggling seems to more harder to endure (for me). I cried to God many times to take me out of this situation. I cried and cried to the Lord.

God revealed His word to me through my Youth leader who said ” Revelation in every situation”. I began to think what God is trying to reveal in this stuation? And I found the answer here Ephesians 6:10 ” Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”Amazingly, God did take me out of the situation not by putting me away of it, but by providing me a strength to endure. To be strong in HIM…in everything. One of my very good friend wrote to me “Keep keeping on, for His glory - His strength shows strong when we feel our weakest.”

Now God has changed my prayer, is no longer of self-pity and crying for escape. He turns it to be a strong prayer, prayer to endure, to suffer, to sacrifice and just to depend on HIM alone.

As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2:10, “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when Iamweak, then I am strong.”
