“We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair, persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (II Corinthians 4:8-9)
Christ Jesus, often our challenging world drives us to despair and feelings of abandonment, help us who follow You, the Christian community, to always maintain our confidence and trust in Your abiding presence. Amen.
