Blessed Jesus, let us not doubt your love even should you fail to answer our prayers, but grant us faith to trust in your wisdom and goodness and cling to you still, through you who died that we might live and now abides forever in the presence of the Father and Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.’ – John 11:5-6
