Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.  James 1:2-4 NASB

Hallelujah! Please help us Holy Spirit, be with Your people, we thank You …… may we seek Your wisdom and rejoice through the storm, King Jesus, how we love You! thank You for seeing us in Your final moments on the cross. Thank You for always looking upon us with love, no matter what our sins deserve. Even in Your greatest moment of distress, You fulfilled a purpose greater than anything we can ever imagine. Oh Lord, we surrender to You, we give every area of our lives to You.  Thank You God, we pray for the peace that comes with knowing You. Yes Holy Spirit, May You continue to guide us as we learn how to run the race You set before us. We praise You for the grace You showed to the man hanging next to You on the cross.
