Think It Not Strange

Think It Not Strange

1 Peter 4:12–13 (KJV)

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.”

Process w/Our Father...

Father, war surrounds us - globally, spiritually, personally. It’s easy to feel shaken. Easy to wonder, “Why now?” or “Where are You in all this?”

But You told us: "Don’t think it strange." You knew fiery trials would come, not to consume us, but to refine us. Not to destroy us, but to reveal Your glory in us.

You never promised a life without pressure, but You did promise presence in the fire, peace in the chaos, purpose in the shaking.

Even now, as nations rage and the enemy stirs fear, we choose to rejoice because suffering is not the end of the story...Victory Is!!!

Declaration

We will not be surprised by the trials - We will be strengthened in it.

We will not curse the shaking - We will seek Our Heavenly Father in it.

We will not fear the war - We will fight in the Spirit, knowing victory belongs to the Lord.

Prayer

Father God, thank You for anchoring us in Your truth when the world shakes. We choose to not let our hearts be overwhelmed by the fires of war, whether physical or spiritual. Thank You for helping us to stand firm, rejoice in hope, and walk with faith that Your glory will be revealed. Make us unshakable because we are rooted in You. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
