Beginning with the month of May, we are praying The Book of James on the Ranger Joe’s God and Country Show .
James 1:12-15
May 4, 2012
Lord, James tells us that a man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that You have promised to those who love You. When we are undergoing a trial we should never say, "I am being tempted by God." For while You allow things into our lives, You are not tempted by evil, and do not tempt anyone with evil. We are tempted Lord, when we let ourselves be drawn away and enticed by our own evil desires. Forgive us Father, as a nation and as Your church, because these desires often come when we do not handle difficulties through Your truth, Your revealed word. Instead, we handle them through our own desires. Then after our desires are conceived and focused on, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death, as we are reminded of, not just here, but in Romans 8:6 also. In Your Son’s name we pray, grateful that You love us in spite of us, amen.
