Dear Lord, You’re so gracious to provide the many blessings that I enjoy! Please forgive me where I fail you, and remind me that in seasons of suffering, You call me to fall at your feet in prayer – to depend on You for everything, with thankfulness. Lord, guide me to share your love and comfort with those around me who are now suffering, and burden me to pray for them daily. Amen.

“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they
