The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Why then does my suffering continue? Why is my wound so incurable? Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook, like a spring that has gone dry.”
Jeremiah 15:18
Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored.
Ephesians 3:12-13
Divine Mystery, when hardship is present in our lives, we are tempted to imagine that you are absent or of no avail. By your Holy Spirit, keep us ever mindful of your nearness. May we be emboldened to not lose heart over your presence and power to bring comfort and wholeness to our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
