Use This For Good Lord!
"God meant it for good."
Genesis 50: 20
A new survey of 2,000 American millennials reveals that a
third of them believe their lives are more stressful than the
average person’s life. Some of the contributing factors to
their stress levels include being stuck in traffic, waiting for
appointments, and having issues with their smartphones.
For 41 percent of millennials, a damaged phone screen
is more stressful than seeing a “check engine” light on
their dashboard. Many of them felt stress when they get
zero “likes” on a social media post, while 33 percent felt
having their phone die is worse than fraudulent charges
on a credit card. Half the survey respondents say they
don’t deal with stress very well, and two-thirds would
love to find better methods of coping with stress.
For most of us, the small daily aggravations of
life can feel like a straw that broke the
camel’s
back, and we all need better methods of coping.
One of the best ways of dealing with trials is saying,
“Use this for good Lord!” This prayer will work when
we lose our credit card or when we lose our jobs. It
works when we’re stuck in traffic, or when we hear
of a friend’s illness. You may have a problem
today
that can be handled by this simple prayer:
Lord, use it for good.
"In God’s hands, intended
evil becomes eventual good."
