Praying God's Promises
Suffering
If I suffer as a Christian,
I will not be ashamed,
but praise God that I bear that name.
For it is time for judgment
to begin with the family of God;
and if it begins with me,
what will the outcome be
for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:16-17 Personalized

For in my day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me
in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
Psalm 27:5 Personalized

God is my refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 Personalized

I rejoice in my sufferings,
because I know that suffering
produces perseverance;
perseverance, character;
and character, hope.
Romans 5:3-4 Personalized

For it has been granted to me
on behalf of Christ
not only to believe on him,
but also to suffer for him
Philippians 1:29 Personalized

Even if I should suffer for what is right,
I am blessed.
"I do not fear what they fear;
I will not be frightened."
But in my heart set apart Christ as Lord.
I will always be prepared
to give an answer to everyone who asks me
to give the reason for the hope that I have.
But I will do this with gentleness and respect,
keeping a clear conscience,
so that those who speak maliciously
against my good behavior in Christ
may be ashamed of their slander.
It is better, if it is God's will,
to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
1 Peter 3:14-17 Personalized

The God of all grace,
who called me to his eternal glory in Christ,
after I have suffered a little while,
will himself restore me and
make me strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:10 Personalized
