Thanksgiving Devotional for Tuesday, Nov. 24

Thankful for God’s Promise – Ann Wilkie

Romans 8:28: 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.

A few years ago, my family went through a tough time while my husband was deployed. My middle child was Praying hands with light raysstruggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression that put her in the hospital for two weeks. As a parent, you want your child to be healthy and happy, and when they hurt you hurt.

Having struggled with anxiety and depression myself, I clung to Romans 8:28 as a promise from God. As a believer, I knew God was in control and our struggles would not be wasted. He used our struggles to bring us closer to Him and turn our test into a testimony to share with others.

Prayer:  Dear God, thank you for using our struggles to share with others and glorify you. We love you. Amen.
