This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation.
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others.
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
Lord God my Father,
May I only see you and follow you both in spirit and action. May I take great joy in the struggles as they make me strong, may I have a gentle heart in all things. May I do your will now and not put it off.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
