Day Two
Facing the Pain
How have you walked through pain and suffering lately? God does not desire for you to walk through painful things, but He is so good that He uses the pain as an opportunity to do a transforming work in you. He is bringing beauty from the ashes, but only when you look to Him in the middle of the mess.
Many times people ignore God in the midst of trials—or distance Him like they would a good friend that they know will make them face their hurt. When you shove your pain down and refuse to face your emotions, you become like clogged pipes for the moving of the Holy Spirit in and through you. You were not created to store pain inside of you. When you do, you make it difficult to hear God and be used by Him for the purpose He has created you for.
Don’t waste your battle—use it to burn away your pride and hear God’s voice more clearly. Come before the Lord and praise Him for who He is and what He has done in your life. This is how you persevere through the suffering—by praising God through it, and healing in His presence.

ID Seminar devotional will help you to discover the unique life mission God has planned for you — because once you know it, you’ll have the confidence to take the next step toward your destiny.
