God, help us to bear the troubles and testing which lie before us that we may be true followers of Your spirit.  Give us patience and perseverance lest we grow weary and fainthearted.  (Christ in Our Home, Day 84)

Lord, we have this problem, You know what it is without our telling.  Please guide us in the right direction.  Make us receptive to Your will.  We thank You for this help that You are now giving us.  (Norman Vincent Peale,  Daily Guideposts, 5 Mar 2005)
