A prayer for Triumph by Mary Sutherland.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called

according to his purpose.

Romans 828

There are no accidents with God nor is he surprised by anything or anyone in the life of his child

God uses even the most horrendous circumstances for our good. Every circumstance comes to us for a purpose,

bound by God's love and plan and faithfully delivered with his permission.

While we cannot go back and change our past,

we can change the way we respond to our past

and determine how much power it has in our lives today.

Only God can take the broken pieces of your life and make something beautiful

out of each one. He is waiting for you to let go of your pain and trust him. And you really can trust him. No one loves you like he does. You may not

always understand or even like his process, but you can always trust his heart of love for you.

Let's pray.

Father, I choose to believe you are faithful and will do what you promise to do in your word.

I believe when I lay the pain and hurt of my past at your feet, you not only can but also

will transform it all into something beautiful. I choose to believe

you will turn the broken places of my life into living illustrations of your sufficiency and healing power.
