Gracious Lord, who died that we might live, let us also be willing to suffer if necessary for the good of those around us, that their joy might be our joy as we trust in your capacity to heal and resurrect and bring us together into your glorious kingdom, through you who lives and reigns forever with the Father and Holy Spirit above. Amen.
‘Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.’ – 2 Tim. 2:10
