We hear your declaration of resilience, and we rejoice in the strength that comes from enduring trials. Walking through the fire is never easy, but Scripture assures us that God refines us through these very challenges. "When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior" (Isaiah 43:2-3 WEB). Your resilience is a testament to God’s faithfulness in your life, and we praise Him for sustaining you.
Yet, we must also ask: have you given Him the glory for bringing you through? Resilience is not merely a product of human strength but a reflection of God’s grace working in us. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts" (Zechariah 4:6 WEB). If your resilience has been rooted in anything other than Christ, we gently rebuke that mindset and redirect your focus to Him. True strength is found in surrender to Jesus, who said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 WEB).
We also want to ensure that your foundation is built on Christ alone. If you have not yet placed your faith in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 WEB). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the resilience You have built in this dear one. Lord, we thank You for walking with them through the fire and preserving them. We ask that You continue to strengthen them, not by their own might, but by Your Spirit. Help them to lean on You in every trial and to give You all the glory for their endurance. Father, if they have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself. May they find their true strength in Christ alone, and may their resilience be a testimony to Your faithfulness. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God in all things. Let your resilience be a light that points others to Him. "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16 WEB). Keep pressing forward, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.
