Scripture and Prayer for the Day……………………..
FRIDAY
Accept whatever is brought upon you, and in changes that humble you be patient. For gold is tested in the fire, and the Lord proves men in the furnace of humiliation. Ecclesiasticus 2:4–5
Lord our God, we thank you for helping us again and again. Praised be your name for all you do for us and for all your help in many dangers and hardships! We trust you completely and have faith in you through Jesus Christ, the Savior. He reveals your grace everywhere, in every hardship, giving us the courage and freedom to look toward your kingdom.
Help us remain courageous when we have to face suffering, for we want to be your disciples in Jesus Christ, the Crucified One. He has made suffering holy, that our suffering too may bear fruit for you in time and in eternity. Amen.
