Today I will embrace the struggle.

“God does not give us overcoming life: He gives us life as we overcome.”
Chambers, August 2

First the struggle, then the blessing. (Jacob wrestling)
Genesis 32: 24-29

John 16:33
And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!
The Passion Translation

Today I will not allow life’s struggles to keep me from God’s altar.
