YOUR ENDURANCE

PRAYER PAUSE


Wednesday 23 November 2016, Michael Pro


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.
