Discipline

Hebrews 12:7-10

‘Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father….we all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live. God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.’

Father God
Thank you for affirming us as sons and daughters and heirs of the promise
Thank you for caring to the extent that you hem us in behind and before
Hardship does not feel like a great place to be
But to know that this is for our good is enough
We accept your discipline as the act of love that it is

Changing and transforming us
Drawing us deeper and deeper
Building character and maturity
Enabling us to stand when things are tough
We don’t want to remain toddlers
We want to run and not grow weary
To walk and not be faint
To be holy because You are holy
