COT: Held – prayers for recovery from injuries, those with failing health, and continued faith when faced with Life’s obstacles – very fitting given some of the quotes on Resilience:

Ancient Philosophers:
-. Seneca:
“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”
-. Marcus Aurelius:
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
(—This is often paraphrased as: “The obstacle is the way.”)

New Testament Scripture:
1. Romans 5:3–5 (KJV):
“We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed…”
2. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (KJV):
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed.”
3. James 1:12 (KJV):
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
4. Philippians 4:13 (KJV):
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
5. Galatians 6:9 (KJV):
“And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
