Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1)

Let us pray: Beloved Jesus, help me endure the challenges of this world. Inspire me to focus on the goal of happiness and salvation and never mind the temporary burdens and difficulties. Fix my eyes on the good and turn my back on the bad. Free my mind from evil desires and negatives thoughts. Let your strength be my strength Lord. And let your will be my will as well. Amen
