Please pray that from this misery and heartbreaking agony
countless people will know for the first time: “Suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope; and hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom He has given us.” (Romans 5:3-5)
