DAILY BREAD — Faithful Through the Fiery Trial

ADVICE:
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 1 Peter 4:12

PROMISE:
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

​PRAYER:
For You have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. Psalm 56:13

---

Almighty God, Heavenly Father,
when trials come, steady our hearts.
Keep us from thinking that hardship is strange or meaningless.
You are faithful, and You measure every testing hand.
Provide what we need each day—grace sufficient, strength renewed, and a way through every temptation.
Deliver our feet from stumbling,
that we may walk before You in the light of life.

Lord Jesus Christ,
You endured suffering and overcame.
In every fiery trial, remind us that we share in Your path and Your victory.
Shape our character through difficulty,
and let endurance produce hope that does not disappoint.

Holy Spirit,
shine Your light in us, through us, and over us.
Order our steps according to the Father’s will.
Prosper what accords with Your purposes,
and refine what does not.
May others see Your faithfulness in our lives
and glorify You for Your goodness.

We trust You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--
to sustain us, deliver us, and lead us in the light of life.
Amen.

Have a blessed day,

​With Love,
Rev. Frank
