Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children; for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline? Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

- Hebrews 12:7, 11, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist.

- Madeleine L'engle

Pray Together with Us
Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and in misery,
a captive and forsaken as I am,
You know all man's distress;
You abide with me
when all others have deserted me;
You do not forget but seek me,
You will that I should know you and turn to you.
Lord, I hear your call and follow you;
Do help me.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
