Hebrews 12:10–11 The Father of spirits disciplines us for our good, that we may participate in his holiness. Nothing discipline seems pleasant at the time but rather painful. However, later it produces a harvest of peace and righteousness for those who have been trained in it.
Adversity in life is not God's neglect, but rather the shaping of His love. Every setback and misfortune is a gentle exercise by our Heavenly Father, teaching us patience, humility, and trust. Just like winning or losing on a sports field, it is not the final judgment, but a lesson in growth. God does not waste a single tear; He perfects us through discipline, making us more like Him in character and spirit.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for every trial in my and my lives. Although we sometimes do not understand Your plans, may we still trust in You in our suffering and see Your grace in our despair. Grant us patience and gentleness, so that we may not be defeated by setbacks, but rather bear fruit in discipline and live out the way You desire. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
