Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:1-6
The word "triumphant" was laid on my heart and when I read its meaning was "to have won the battle; to be victorious" I knew why the Lord whispered it to me. Our relationship with Christ brings us victory. I remember specifically a time the Lord said to me, "the battle is mine" and I was told not to get involved with my enemy, that He would intervene and He did. We can rest in this assurance that we have access to God's grace through our faith. When we place our faith and trust in Him we gain peace and we gain hope. As we mature in Him we no longer ask," why me?" we simply say, "why not me?" We must have the mindset of being a victor not a victim and know all things work together for our good. Whatever it is you are facing today, trust in Him as you pray yourself through it and may you know the Spirit of comfort is with you every step of the way.
