Almighty God, whose ways are not like our ways, let us not be disturbed when you do those things that we do not expect and what does not fit with our understanding of the world, but let those moments serve as opportunities to better understand you and your kingdom and grow to embrace it more fully, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen. “There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.” – Luke 4:27
