Reflection

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.” ~ Maya Angelou

Prayer

God of fortitude, we know that shadows fall over even the most virtuous of lives. Grant us resilient hearts that we might have the courage to overcome the obstacles we face in our lives. Help us to know that resilience is not about the challenge to survive but fulfilling your call to thrive. In the midst of the adversity we encounter in life, help us to always be mindful that you are with us and that you call us to be more than our struggles and challenges. May your love help us to confront adversity and embrace the hope of a new day. In confidence, we pray. Amen.
