Opening Prayer: O Lord, our God, is anything too hard for
you? Is anything too difficult for you
to accomplish? Is anything too broken
for you to make whole? Is anything too
lost for you to redeem? Give us complete
trust, O Sovereign Lord, in your awesome power and in your extravagant
love. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13
Journal: What is the most significant ongoing temptation in
your spiritual life these days? How
has God helped you in the midst of that?
Reflection:
We must not, therefore, despair when we are tempted
but pray to God with so much more fervor, that he may vouchsafe to help us in
all tribulations, who, no doubt, according to the saying of St. Paul, will
“make such issue with the temptation, that we may be able to bear it.” (1
Corinthians 10:13)
Let us, therefore, humble our souls under
the hand of God in all temptations and tribulations, for the humble in spirit
He will save and exalt. (Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis)
Prayer
Closing Prayer: God unto whom all hearts are open and unto
whom every will speaks, and from whom no secret thing is hidden, I pray You
cleanse the intent of my heart with the ineffable gift of Your grace, that I
may perfectly love You, and worthily praise You. Amen. ~The Cloud of the Unknowing
