Almighty God, whose power is tempered ever with mercy, may our hearts be always inclined in challenging times to seek you earnestly, that in fasting and prayer we might receive your grace and be strengthened by your Spirit, through Christ our savior, who abides with you in highest heaven above. Amen.
‘Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight and neither ate nor drank.’ – Acts 9:8-9
