His Princess Every Day - Praise Through the Pain

Devotionals for Women - Inspirational author and speaker Sheri Rose Shepherd imagines what a letter written from God to you would look like.

My Princess Warrior,

I will not waste your pain, my beloved. I will use every tear you have cried to put a passion in your heart to do something great for My Kingdom. You can find comfort in your darkest hour by praising Me through the painful place you’re in. You will not remain in this painful place for long, My love. Soon you will see that I carved something in your character through it all that will draw you and others closer to Me. You are my precious princess and I will shake the earth if that is what it takes to see your chains fall to the ground.

Love,
Your Lord who feels your pain

Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! - Acts 16:25–26 (NLT)

A Prayer Through Pain

Powerful princess! I pray that you will know joy and peace in the midst of your pain. I pray as you praise him you will feel him unlock the chains of depression and hopelessness--and you will be free to rejoice in the Lord and worship freely as you walk through this trial. I pray that you will find renewed strength and divine deliverance--just as apostle king David did as He praised God in a cave. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be astounded. They will put their trust in the LORD. - Psalm 40:3 (NLT)
