15 Apr PRAY 4/15/20
“Lord….Give us grace to match our trials. Give us a sense of hope and purpose beyond our pain. And give us fresh assurance that we’re not alone, that Your plan has not been aborted though our suffering intensifies.
Help those of us who are on our feet right now to maintain a compassion for those who aren’t. Give us a word of encouragement for others living in a world of hurt.
Let us never forget that every jolt in this rugged journey from earth to heaven is a reminder that we’re on the right road.
I ask this in the compassionate name of the Man of Sorrows who was acquainted with grief. Amen.
– Charles Swindoll
“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with suffering….Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows….”
(Isaiah 53:3a, 4a)
