3. Meditation
Acts: 20:22-24
Paul said, “And now I am on my way to Jerusalem, bound in my spirit, not knowing what I will encounter there, except that in town after town the Holy Spirit testifies to me that chains and afflictions are waiting for me. But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace….I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

15. *Opening Prayer
Holy Lord God Almighty, Today we remember Job, and pray for those who are burdened with grief and dwelling in darkness. We pray for those for whom life is bitterness and for those who wait for death but it does not come. We pray for those whose groans pour out like water. We pray for those who are overcome by fear and dread, who cannot relax or be still.

16. We pray for those to whom no rest comes, for trouble comes
We pray for those to whom no rest comes, for trouble comes. Giver of Life and Hope, we place our lives, the lives of those whom we love, the people of this world, and those who are in need, into your hands. Amen.
