Dear God, In moments of pain and during trials, I choose to praise You. As I face situations that tempt me to lose hope, help me to trust in Your unfailing love and Your sovereign plan. When You seem distant, remind me of Your promises that You are always near, never leaving nor forsaking me. Teach me to love You more deeply, to seek You more earnestly, and to rely on You more completely. In every season, may I acknowledge Your goodness and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
