A QUOTE
t is a sad thing when you hear Christians with a groan in them. When I meet the groaner, I say in my heart, “God, move that man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is.” –John G. Lake
If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ? –Thomas à Kempis
A TEXT
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me – Philippians 4:13
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Lord, you create all things in your wisdom, love and power;
Give us eyes to see the wonder of your works;
Wills that are strong for your service,
And hearts that love you, who first loved us.
Lord, forgive our misuse of things you have made;
Forgive our failure to discern your purpose and to share in it.
Make us thankful for all your good gifts and faithful in the use of them;
And deepen our trust in your love and care.
Lord in your Mercy; Hear our prayer.
