BIBLE VERSE
“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive 

the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬

REFLECTION

Life is full of trials—financial struggles, health challenges, disappointments, and spiritual battles. 

Often, it’s tempting to give up or question God’s presence in difficult times. 

However, James reminds us that perseverance in trials leads to God’s blessing and eternal reward.

Trials are not meant to break us but to build us. Just as gold is refined in fire, our faith is strengthened 

when we endure hardships with trust in God. 

When we remain steadfast, relying on His strength rather than our own, 

we grow spiritually and deepen our relationship with Him.
 

PRAYER

Father, help me to persevere and stand strong in my faith. May my inner man be resilient and steadfast in You.

 Amen.

QUOTE

“Spiritual strength is not built in comfort, but in trials.”
