PRAYER PAUSE

YOUR
ENDURANCE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Not a hair of your head will be
lost. Your endurance will win you your lives.” (Luke 21:12-19)
Reflection. Endurance can be a hard call. When
Obama had the task of welcoming Trump to the White House two weeks ago he had
to show a steely attitude of acceptance of a totally uncomfortable situation.
All his staff were depressed but he rose above his own deep disappointment to say
some healing and hopeful words. That takes endurance. At times we are faced
with painful events and our temptation is to hit out and blame and complain.
But that gets us nowhere. The call is to be cool, focused and strong and remain
full of patience and hope that all will work out for the best.
Prayer. Lord, give
us courage and hope when things go wrong. Amen.
