Prayer:
Father, Thank you for sharing your secret to help us to understand that even as you are working out your purpose in the lives of every person that has ever lived and will ever live at the same time that you are lavishing your love of us and we have free access to fellowship with you in all the circumstances of our lives. Grant us the grace to imitate Jesus in times of trouble and to endure for the sake of the goal that you have set before us. Amen.
