Crown of Life

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 

Job had a trial and He persevered. We want to be like Job, enduring the trial until we see You.

Let our children and families persevere until they have a personal encounter with You.

Bless them with perseverance. Let their hearts cry out to You like Job and speak to You until You answer. Give them hope to withstand the test and not to faint or be angry. Strengthen their hearts with Your Holy Spirit. Empower them to stand the trial and be rewarded with the crown of Life.

Father, there are believers who are facing trials today, they are being persecuted, beaten, and killed and they call on You, Lord God. Bless them and keep them from the enemy, preserve their faith, and keep them in Your arms. Let them see and know Your mighty peace that is beyond our understanding.

Bless our nation with repentance and redeem us from the enemy. Give us steadfast hearts so we might not faint at the trials approaching us.

Bless Israel and keep them from destruction. Open their eyes to see You and give them peace. Bless the with perseverance.

We praise You, the One Who gives us Life.

In Jesus name.
