Key Passages: http://bit.ly/1svWxra (2Chron 20:12, Isaiah 41:8-10)
First off, let me just say that I am having the coffee of life right now! I can't remember the last time I had a cup this delicious.
Okay with that out of the way, let's talk about the valley we may be in and look toward the mountain we want to be at the top of. (James 1:12-18)
Loving God Under Trials
12 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. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
(You're )Are you living for nothing now?
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
(Apologies to Leonard Cohen)
Have you written down the things you are asking of God? Do it now, and ASK!
Did you forgive before you asked? Do it now, Lather, rinse, and repeat!
Are you thanking God that you have received the answer for your request daily? Do it now!
Did you believe without doubt and stand forgiving when you asked? Do it now.

Ephesians 6:13 Mark 11:25 James 5:7-16
Thank you God for all that you are doing in my life because I know it is for my good.
Please guide my steps when I am confident and when I have no idea what to do. Today and everyday in all things.
Forgive me of my sins and for sinning, and please put it in the hearts of those I have offended both real and imagined offenses, to forgive me for their own sakes. Please continually drive out unforgiveness in me. I don't want to live my life that way.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
