For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. 21So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.

Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your perfect plan, especially the struggles. Continue to strengthen me in your Peace so I may use your wisdom above all else. Thank you for being so close. Keep me from judgment and anger for they cloud my judgment and allow your way to be my discernment. Protect me from evil and allow your Peace to flow freely in my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
