Holy Spirit, our ever-present counselor, help us to accept when we do not get what we desire, that we would trust in your goodness regardless, knowing that your ways are higher than our ways and your love will yet hold us in both good and bad, through Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Father in everlasting glory. Amen.
‘But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months and there was a severe famine over all the land, yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.’ – Luke 4:25-26
