Raajii Imbaaqoomii 1:5

As destruction unfolds around him, Habakkuk questions God and His plans. God’s response to Habakkuk reminds us that He alone orders the unfolding of history. Those who are righteous will have faith in His plans (Habakkuk 2:3). Despite the darkness of the season, we too can “rejoice in the Lord” and “take joy in the God of our salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18).

Finding gratitude can feel almost impossible in challenging seasons. This three-day plan, Prayers of Gratitude: Thankful Through the Struggle, invites you to discover God’s presence and provision even in the hardest times. Through the prayers of Habakkuk, you’ll be reminded that gratitude in prayer can forge a pathway to peace.

As a reporter for my college newspaper, I tried out for the #1 football team in the country for a story. When I found my name on the roster, I was shocked, thinking it was a mistake. I realize now it was part of God’s plan. God has a purpose for you too. I pray this reminds you that as we walk in faith, God is always a step ahead.

Inspired by the life and faith of the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk, Thann Bennett's study poses the question - what would happen if we lived for God's fame instead of our own? What if there is a radically different—and far better—approach to achieving success in life? You will walk away encouraged and equipped to live for the purpose of His fame.
