Lord, help us to see things from your perspective. Help us to be patient in the midst of our pain, suffering and confusion and do all we can do to maintain our trust in you, our Sovereign God, knowing that you are doing a deep work in us... producing a Christlikeness in us that glorifies your Name. And finally, may we never stop giving and sharing... even when we are under attack... when we are suffering loss... when we can’t make heads or tails of our circumstances. May we remain sensitive to others... with the confidence that at just the right appointed time, we are going to see the fulfillment of your promise. We will experience that miracle! In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
