Prayer For The Month (March)
|
God of rest, teach us to lay down our burdens and find rest in you so that we won’t miss the opportunities you send us.
Remind us that through our suffering we can learn perseverance and wisdom. Thank you God for always being with us and
for loving us. Help us to encourage one another and to look for opportunities to share hope with those who suffer.
We ask this in the name and for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN
Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
James 1:2-3
There is nothing that can separate us from the love and peace of God.
