LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you are aware that Rock of Christ is the only foundation which enables us to endure and in fact thrive in hard times. Hard times is the surest way to purify character and strip it of impurities. No doubt your noble character is a result of the sanctification of the Holy Spirit WHO loves each of us more than we can imagine. HE ensures we progress to perfection of our soul in the image of the Christ. I expect you have learned to rejoice in your ‘sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance” [Romans 5: 3b ESV] Mark.
I pray that you and I are blessed by the Holy Spirit with an increase in peace during hard times experiences. LORD YOU know exactly what is needed for each of us to be a blessing. I pray that YOU release whatever it takes for each one of YOUR adopted children to become more compassionate, good, and useful during hard times. I pray that each one us stands firmly on the rock of Christ, my brother-in-Christ SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
I pray LORD that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who read this prayer has sufficient peace in the midst of the storms of life. I pray that YOU make it clear to each one that YOU are in control. I pray that we each are spiritually mature to appreciate the hard times and learn what needs to be learned as quickly as possible for us to be a blessing to those around us.
I lift the suicidal, those on their deathbeds, terminally ill and injured people and those who love and care for them to YOU. I pray that YOU bless the suicidal with hope in you through their clinical depression. I pray that YOU bless the caretakers of the dying with an ability to rest peacefully and sufficiently. I pray that as many of those on their deathbed and the terminally ill and injured are YOUR adopted sons and daughters as YOU are willing.
I pray that YOU bless those working to develop effective and safe vaccines for COVID, influenza and other communicable diseases with wisdom, skill, great health, and favor through bureaucratic processes.
I pray for sufficient hard times for the leaders of BLM, Antifa and their allies and financial backers to reevaluate their demands, focus, and priorities. Open their eyes LORD to what awaits them in eternity and draw as many as YOU are willing to YOU.
I pray for adequate hard times to bring compassion, transparency, and servant-focus to each of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America. I pray they each realize they are elected and appointed to serve.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Tuesday night and shall awake healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Col Burroughs. Well, we certainly have enough hard times to go around and help us all build our resiliency muscles. Many on RP have been through much tougher times and they can and do lead by example. The key to survival and getting stronger is to hold on to what you believe in. Make the roots of your faith and belief reach down and outward until you get what you need. And then reach out a bit father and steady someone else.
