LET US PRAY: Lord, in time of suffering, I will keep my mind focused on Your promises, and my heart focused on Your faithfulness. Lord, no matter what trials come my way, I will always continue doing what's right, and keeping my faith. Give me the strength to endure temptation, and when it gets too hard to endure, I ask that You make a way for me to escape it. I know that You bless those who are persecuted for righteousness sake. In time of suffering, may I continue to do good, keeping Your commandments, teaching others to do the same, and showing love to those around me for I know that this present suffering is nothing compared to the glory and blessings that awaits me. Lord Jesus, thank You for suffering for my sake. Thank You for showing me a living example of who I should be like. Thank You for showing me the steps to follow. Lord, as I endeavor not to sin against You, and ensure that my every word brings glory to You, pour down Your abundant blessings upon me. Bless me with the wisdom to hold back when assaulted, hold my tongue when insulted, and give thanks in time of trials. In jesus' Name. Amen.
