Humble ourselves under God

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
(1 Peter 5:6, 7 ESV)

We believe from the word that God is sovereign in all things. Our circumstances and our lives are in the hands of God. Sometimes we suffer and sometimes we have abundance and joyful circumstances. But in all things whether in need or abundance we trust that God works all things for our good in part in this life and in our salvation to eternal life. Therefore let us humble ourselves in our circumstances to Gods sovereignty yet give all our hopes and desires and cries to God in prayer trusting that he cares for us and hears us.

God give me strength to endure in whatever circumstances and to keep my hope in you. God take me not out of my circumstances but strengthen me to endure them and grow in faith and reach out to those in need around me.
Amen
