Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
To keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.[2 Corinthians 12:7-10, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.[Thomas Merton]
Pray Together with Us:
Lord I have been walking,
been walking in the dark . . .
Lord, hold my hand, I'm tired of stumbling in dark alleys.
Put me in the palm of your hand.
Lord, lift me up.
Show me that love is still around.
Lord, lift me up.
Show me that love is still around . . .[James Matthews]
