PERSEVERE=THROUGH IT ALL

 

I=Don’t know WHY=but

EVER SINCE COVID=this world

Has been so challenging

 

But we must travel forward=

WE MUST PERSIST=we must

PERSEVERE=THROUGH IT ALL=in prayer

To the MIGHTY Holy Father God=and

His son Jesus=PERESEVERING THROUGH IT ALL

In prayer

 

“O woman=great is YOUR FAITH!=Let

It be done=for you=as you wish”                                                                                 Matthew 15:28

 

The DEVIL=may be in this world

More than ever

 

But we have God=we

Have Jesus Christ=we CAN SURVIVE

Through everything Satan throws at us

Persistence=PERSEVERE=THROUGH IT ALL!

 

“Not only so=but we=also

Glory in our sufferings=Because we know

Today we read about=THE LORD

Being reluctant=to help a woman=who

Was Canaanite=and not a Jew

 

Jesus tells his apostles=he was sent

“ONLY=for the LOST SHEEP=of Israel”                                                                  Matthew 5:24

IN HER FAITH=and Jesus is INSPIRED=with her faith

And HEALS her daughter

“Love the Lord=all

HIS FAITHFUL PEOPLE!=the

Lord preserves those=who are=true to him”                                                                  Psalm 31:23

 

Jesus ENCOURAGES US=to

BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER=to

His heavenly Father God

 

And keep on TRUSTING

That his Father’s will=will be done

Not ours

For persistence in prayer=and

That we stay true=to the Father God=

PERSEVERING=THROUGH IT ALL!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER FAITHFUL=and answering Holy Father God!
