Life can be hard and full of burdens but Jesus tells us “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Why do you think James says troubles are an opportunity for great joy?

It is your love that gives me life. Jesus, you taught me to pray for the Father’s will when you died for me. Thank you, Jesus! Father, may your will be done in my life. I await your kingdom!
