Heavenly Father, you are a holy God, yet gracious, forgiving and kind. You are good in all you do and we can trust you to act in line with your character. Thank you that though we face trials and difficulties at times, you never change and you are at work in everything for good. Please help us to recognise your good work and rejoice in it. Please help us to long for your good work in our hearts, shaping our character through every circumstance. Please keep us clinging to your Son, and his good work on the cross that secures, once and always our standing with you.
Amen
