Reflection

“Whenever things sound easy, it turns out there’s one part you didn’t hear.” –Donald E. Westlake

Prayer

Helper in times of challenge,

Many are struggling today with heavy burdens and remarkable challenges that they never anticipated. We pray for them, as they respond to difficulties at work, changing dynamics in their families and relationships, and in the plans and ambitions they’ve set their hearts upon. For all those who may be disheartened by unexpected failure and setback, we ask you to fill them with grace and the strength of endurance to press through. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there someone I know who is struggling today with unexpected challenges? Make a conscious effort today to lift their spirits and be an encouragement to them in words and deeds.
