So we have been greatly encouraged in the midst of our troubles and suffering, dear brothers and sisters,3:7 Greek brothers. because you have remained strong in your faith. 8It gives us new life to know that you are standing firm in the Lord.
may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.
Lord God,
Allow me to see from your perspective how the struggles of today are for my own good. Help me to not resent but to embrace the day as it is, not as I want it. May I accept your plan as my own.
In Jesus name,
Amen
