Prayer for Tuesday

Dear Father in Heaven, we love and honor Your ways even when they seem or appear to us bitter ways. We long for courage and strength. Lord, help us to believe evermore in Your perfect will. Grant faith to the millions surrounded by death, faith that overcomes everything through utmost self-denial. Let Your light shine out to bring life to the nations in the midst of all that is happening before our eyes. Your light shall lead and guide us, and peace will come, a deeper peace than we have ever known through Christ Jesus the only Lord and Savior. Remember each of us in all our concerns, and grant that the struggles of life may lead us to peace. If hard and bitter ways should be our lot, help us to remain steadfast, never complaining about our burdens even in the most difficult days, for through grief and trouble the way always leads to You. In the most wonderful name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
