"My child, when you come to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for trials. Be sincere of heart and steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of adversity." Ben Sira 2:1-2
The word this morning is prepare, are you preparing yourself for trials? Doesn't seem like it is something you would want to do but don't we prepare for a lot of other things. "Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks." Luke 12:35-36. Trusting in God, being patient as you face these trials is preparing us for His return. Turning to Him in our times of need, asking for help and then waiting. We become steadfast in our spirit and over time with lite lamps, He over comes all of our trials. Serving God will bring trials to you but they are holy trials that strengthen you for a brighter tomorrow. Give thanks in all situations that God has found you worthy.
Dear Lord God, You are worthy of all my love, all my hopes and all my dreams. Thank You for our time this morning, I enjoy listening to You in our space. Thank You for the memories made this past weekend. Prayers for new beginnings for a friend, may they see the hand of God in their lives. Heal our wounds Lord as You prepare us for eternity. Blessings upon all who read this today, may they find comfort in knowing they are cherished by You. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us.
