Prayer of the Day

Blessed Savior, I thank Thee for asking me to take the harder road. It is a sign of Thy favor that I have been predestined to for such sufferings of the cross. And yet, it is to my shame that I have so often complained against these very providential dealings! Forgive me for resistance, and help me to bear Thy gracious scourgings well...for they are the marks of Thy mercy towards me.
