Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of truth and the wisdom it contains. Thank You for the examples of godly men and women, in both the Scriptures and in my own life, who have been such good examples of Christian living, in good times and hard times. Help me to rejoice in the things that I am called upon to suffer for Christ and to embrace them as an opportunity to be poured out as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
