Make us strong each morning,
and come to save us
when we are in trouble.
REVELATION 7:13-14, 16 (CEV)
"Do you know who these people are that are dressed in white robes? Do you know where they come from?"
"Sir," I answered, "you must know."
Then he told me:
"These are the ones
who have gone through
the great suffering.
They have washed their robes
in the blood of the Lamb
and have made them white.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty;
they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Our daily prayer is that God would give us the strength to endure without crumbling the suffering that comes.
DAILY FODDER
Why bother with anything that involves suffering?
PRAYER
Savior God, you are at our sides when we endure suffering. You're the one who gets us through the hard times. Forgive us for thinking and acting as though the strength is ours. Help me to keep the attention where it belongs — on you. I'm going to gratefully live in your powerful shadow. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
