Growing In Resilience: A Prayer JourneySample
Big God
As you work, trust God that: ‘The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me’.
The very essence of our relationship with God is trust – trusting in who He is rather than just what He can do for us.
Any lack of trust in God will show itself in a readiness to trust something else – our own skills, abilities, and resources.
Jeremiah tells us (Jeremiah 2:13) this is like drawing water from broken cisterns – they seem reliable for a while but then the cracks appear and we are left feeling insecure and vulnerable.
Insecurity is a false security exposed!

About this Plan
Whether confronted with difficult life events or extended periods of pressure, resilience helps us to emerge stronger, wiser, and with a deeper faith. Yet such resilience is not automatic – it involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that are learned and practised over time. This 40-day prayer journey helps us develop practices to grow that resilience.
