ကၧၭ 1:5

As destruction unfolds around him, Habakkuk questions God and His plans. God’s response to Habakkuk reminds us that He alone orders the unfolding of history. Those who are righteous will have faith in His plans (Habakkuk 2:3). Despite the darkness of the season, we too can “rejoice in the Lord” and “take joy in the God of our salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18).

Finding gratitude can feel almost impossible in challenging seasons. This three-day plan, Prayers of Gratitude: Thankful Through the Struggle, invites you to discover God’s presence and provision even in the hardest times. Through the prayers of Habakkuk, you’ll be reminded that gratitude in prayer can forge a pathway to peace.

In the middle of challenges, frustrated dreams and impossible circumstances, God has declared His power to deliver, direct and provide. No matter what may be confronting you, God’s Word allows you to see past your circumstances to what lies ahead and be confident in His ability to get you through to a place of victory and fulfilment.

As a reporter for my college newspaper, I tried out for the #1 football team in the country for a story. When I found my name on the roster, I was shocked, thinking it was a mistake. I realize now it was part of God’s plan. God has a purpose for you too. I pray this reminds you that as we walk in faith, God is always a step ahead.
