I just heard Pastor John Gray speak of his mother’s miraculous healing. She was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and within 4 days she was completely healed. Prior to her healing, she asked her son not to pray for God to heal her rather thank God in advance for healing her. She said, “Son, step your faith up with my faith because God promised that I wouldn’t die of cancer.” What a testimony! Perhaps you or someone you know is going through something right now and the situation looks dismal. I want to encourage you as well as myself  to not give in to what looks like defeat, failure, or despair. Don’t merely pray for God to bring you through rather THANK GOD in advance for bringing you through the trial, challenge, or storm. His promises far outweigh our problems! So today remember, our current sufferings are not worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed! (Romans 8:18)
