S – If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

Proverbs 24:10 ESV

O – If you are overcome in daily challenges, your physical and spiritual ability to handle it is restricted and narrow.

A – The Bible tells us there will be trouble.  It doesn’t make us bad Christians or guilty of doing something wrong every time.  Sometimes, we face tough situations because of other’s bad choices, actions or the enemy is making life difficult.  We can’t control them; We only control ourselves (thoughts, words and actions).   We need to grow in our faith and trust in God that in tough moments we don’t wither but flourish.

R – Heavenly Father, you created and hold all things.  Grow us in our faith and trust in you.  In the face of challenges and trails, empower us to grow in our faith and trust in you.  We want to be strong and ready for anything adversity we face today.
