Today’s worship resource will be released in the late afternoon for use as an evening service of family worship and communion.

Below is a morning prayer.

Lord, we pray not for tranquility,
nor that our tribulations may cease;
we pray for thy spirit and thy love,
that thou grant us strength and grace to overcome adversity;
through Jesus Christ. Amen.

—Girolamo Savonarola, Italy, 15th century
