Almighty God, whose presence shakes mountains, grant us determination to persevere in seeking you, that we would be able to endure whatever is necessary to come into your presence in the knowledge that you will hear us and grant us what is best for what we ask, through Jesus our savior, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘He got up and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.’ – 1 Kings 19:8
