💁🏻 Concept: Great Tribulation The great tribulation, mentioned in Matthew 24:21, refers to a period of intense suffering and persecution. While interpretations vary, it reminds us that following Christ may involve trials. Yet Scripture assures us that God remains sovereign and near, even in suffering. For the believer, tribulation is never the end—it is the stage on which God’s faithfulness shines brightest.

Strengthen my heart when I feel weak, and remind me that these present troubles are light and momentary compared to the eternal glory You’ve prepared. Give me boldness to stand firm and a heart that overflows with hope. Use my life as a testimony of Your power in hardship. I cling to Your promises, knowing that nothing can separate me from Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
