Lord Jesus, who suffered greatly for our sake in taking our sins and separation from the Father, let our sufferings turn into hope, that when we also struggle and suffer in this life, we might not be crushed, but would be buoyed by the hope of your care and presence with us and the redemption that you will one day bring, through you who died yet lives again in the presence of the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.’ – Rom 5:3-4
