For Determination

Dedicated Savior,
Although you faced opposition and obstacles from both your enemies and those close to you during your life, nothing deterred you from carrying out your goal of securing our salvation. You were resolute. You were determined.

So often, we are not. When we encounter a challenge while trying to accomplish something, we get frustrated and give up. When the goal we set out to achieve is much harder to reach than we anticipated, we change our mind. The support we counted on suddenly isn’t there anymore, and we blame others for when we fail to see something through to the end. Give us your determination and resolve. Make us confident that you are able to reward our perseverance. Help us finish strong, grant us the satisfaction of getting things done, and let our efforts be a blessing to others. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Handle Disappointment Well

Lord God,
Help me to handle disappointment well. Some letdowns carry more weight than others, depending on the expectations or the time, energy, and resources invested. Whether the impact is minimal or widespread, guide me to manage the disappointment in a healthy way that honors you.

As I manage these struggles and reflect on them when they arise, give me the wisdom to patiently review them so that any needed changes may be able to be made in the future. When this isn’t the case, let me accept the outcome and move forward with the confidence that you are still very much able to bless any new or adjusted plans which may arise out of the ashes of disappointment. Remind me that regardless of any outcome, you are over all things and you promise to work out all things – even disappointment – for the good of your people, including me. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
