Both blessing and joy come to us through obedience, often in times of persecution and pain.

Merciful Savior, according to Your Word, I am blessed when men hate me, when they exclude me and insult me and reject me as evil, because of You, the Son of Man. Your Word says I have cause to rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is my reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets (Luke 6:22-23).
Therefore help me set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me! It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me. Who is he that will condemn me? (Isa. 50:7b-9a).

What a comfort to know that the places God chooses to lead us always flow out of his unfailing love.

You, my faithful Lord, are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. You, my Lord, are good to all; You have compassion on all You have made. All You have made will praise You, O Lord; Your saints will extol You (Ps. 145:8-10).
Lord, how I thank You for showing Your love to me by sending Your one and only Son into the world that I might live through Him. This is love: not that I loved You, but that You loved me and sent Your Son as an atoning sacrifice for my sins (1 John 4:9-10).
Lord, my God, may Your unfailing love be my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant (Ps. 119:76).

Prayer—Battle in "The Secret Place"

"When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly" (Matthew 6:6).
Jesus did not say, "Dream about your Father who is in the secret place," but He said, "... pray to your Father who is in the secret place... " Prayer is an effort of the will. After we have entered our secret place and shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray. We cannot seem to get our minds into good working order, and the first thing we have to fight is wandering thoughts. The great battle in private prayer is overcoming this problem of our idle and wandering thinking. We have to learn to discipline our minds and concentrate on willful, deliberate prayer.
We must have a specially selected place for prayer, but once we get there this plague of wandering thoughts begins, as we begin to think to ourselves, "This needs to be done, and I have to do that today." Jesus says to "shut your door." Having a secret stillness before God means deliberately shutting the door on our emotions and remembering Him. God is in secret, and He sees us from "the secret place"—He does not see us as other people do, or as we see ourselves. When we truly live in "the secret place," it becomes impossible for us to doubt God. We become more sure of Him than of anyone or anything else. Enter into "the secret place," and you will find that God was right in the middle of your everyday circumstances all the time. Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless you learn to open the door of your life completely and let God in from your first waking moment of each new day, you will be working on the wrong level throughout the day. But if you will swing the door of your life fully open and "pray to your Father who is in the secret place," every public thing in your life will be marked with the lasting imprint of the presence of God.

Praying the scripture fuels our faith in the one who is faithful. It fuels our belief in the one who is believable.

Father God, how great is the love You have lavished on me, that I should be called a child of God! And that is what I am! (1 John 3:1).
As I walk with You, Lord, You will not let my foot slip—You who watch over me will not slumber; indeed, You who watch over Your children will neither slumber nor sleep.
You, the Lord, watch over me—You are my shade at my right hand; the sun will not harm me by day nor the moon by night. You, Lord God, will keep me from all harm—You will watch over my life; You will watch over my coming and going both now and forevermore (Ps. 121:3-8).
