Lent 2010, Day 23

[Even] now I rejoice in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf. And in my own person I am making up whatever is still lacking and remains to be completed on our part of Christ's afflictions, for the sake of His body, which is the church. Colossians 1:24 Amplified Bible

Tired of giving up dessert or whatever for Lent? Offer even that tiny suffering up to the Lord in prayer. St. Paul used all of his sufferings, not just fasting, as part of his prayer for the Christians of his day. Today pray for your country and all American Christians that faith will be renewed and restored. Pray for your Congressional Clowns to get/stay on the right track. Pray for God to bless the USA.
