Triumph Over Troubles

Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance —Romans 5:3

Some days it seems that everything goes wrong, one thing after another, after another. Don’t just talk to yourself, saying, “I just can’t take anymore of this.” Don’t talk to your friends, saying, “I just can’t put up with anymore of this.”

Don’t struggle with the same tests day after day; instead, talk back to the devil as Jesus did (See Luke 4:1–13). If you feel your peace and joy slipping away, talk out loud to Satan. If he is trying to steal from you, say, “Forget it, devil; you are not getting me upset today!”

From the book Starting Your Day Right: Devotions for Each Morning of the Year by Joyce Meyer.
