Regular prayers

James writes: For an example of patience in the face of suffering look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord: those who persevered we consider blessed. (James 5:7-11)

Living God, through Christ you come to us. He entered the places where our humanity is torn apart. He experienced the suffering of the innocent, and he held firm, trusting in you. Enable us to walk in his footsteps and to love as he loved us.
