“This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in Him.” John 9:3
This man, blind from birth, didn’t go through hard times because of sin. Jesus said he was allowed to be blind so God would be glorified. Likewise, we, at times, must go through trials, not for punishment but for God to be glorified in us.
Sometimes, we pray “get-me-out” prayers when we need to pray “get-me-through” prayers that will ultimately glorify God. If we are honest, most of the time, we pray for our comfort rather than for God’s glory.
We should be bold enough to ask God for big things even when we are not sure it will glorify Him. If God says no, it just means we asked for the wrong thing, or for the wrong reason, or at the wrong time. Either way, we should trust that God’s plan is the best plan.
PRAYER: “God, use my trials to glorify You. Teach me how to pray bold prayers that bring You glory.”
