February 15

Our dear merciful Savior,
Blessed be Your holy name. Thank you Father that You are a Shelter in the time of storm. You are our mighty Rock in a weary land and cooling Shade on the burning sand. You are our faithful Guide for our pilgrim band. And though sometimes it seems we are all alone trekking uphill as the way gets steeper, we know that we truly are not. As you appeared in the fire with the three worthies and as You strode beside the two on their way to Emmaus, so will You with each of us. We are never alone. Thank you for Your endurance on the cross. Please give us the strength, the power, the will and the obedience to endure until the end is our prayer in Your Son's holy name, Amen.
