May 24, 2020 – “Holding Steady in Life’s Storms”

Psalm 55:22 NRSV

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;

he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:6-11 NRSV

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
