God Makes Suffering A Blessing 
 

How could suffering possibly be a good thing? When we’re in the middle of suffering, all we can think about is how we can get out of it. But today, we will hear that God promises to bless us through suffering and that he promises to bless us during suffering.
 

Prayer of the Day
 

Almighty and everlasting God, look with mercy on our weaknesses, and in all our dangers and needs stretch out the right hand of your majesty to help and defend us; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

 

 Reading

Isaiah 40:27-31
When it seems our suffering is hidden from the Lord, he assures us that he does not get weary and gives strength to all who do.

1 Peter 56-11
The Lord invites those who suffer and are tempted to find strength and stand firm in him..

Mark 1:29-30

Jesus brings good news to people suffering in body and in soul. 
 

How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord.
