Back when I first started working with United Christian Broadcasters in Australia around 1999 I faced a hard patch which tested me in terms of my calling and resolve. As much as I had youthful passion I recognised I didn’t have much ‘sticking power’. One time when praying the Lord gave me this encouragement which I wrote down (always a good idea), printed it out and kept it in front of me. Maybe its what you need today. I know that reading it has encouraged me again.

You are here because God called you to this position.

Now honour the Lord by praying about everything.

Bless His name by rejoicing in every circumstance.

Love your Brother and Sister with brotherly affection and take delight in honouring one another.

The scripture from Romans 12 v 12 was the appropriate full stop to these words.

Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always.
