Psalm 38:10, 1 Peter 4:7-13, Mark 11:24-26

Psalm 38:10
All my longing O Lord, is known to You, my sighing is not hidden from You.

What a comforting thought my Beloved. You know everything there is to know about me. Before You nothing is secret. I can trust Your infinite goodness and mercy all the days of my life.

1 Peter 4:7-13
7 The end of all things is near; keep your minds calm and sober for prayer. 8 Above all, let your love for one another be sincere, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Welcome one another into your houses without com­plain­ing. 10 Serve one another with the gifts each of you received, thus becoming good managers of the varied graces of God. 11 If you speak, deliver the word of God; if you have a special ministry, let it be seen as God’s power so that, in everything, God may be glorified in Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and power forever and ever. Amen. • 12 My dear people, do not be surprised at the testing by fire which is taking place among you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, you should be glad to share in the sufferings of Christ because, on the day his Glory is revealed, you will also fully rejoice.

St. Peter gives a lot of good advice in these verses - be calm and sober for prayer. Love one another. Love covers a multitude of sins. Serve with the gifts you have received. Christ must be the One who is glorified always not self. Be glad to suffer for the sake of Christ.

"Learn to respond with silence. Every provocation does not dignify a verbal encounter. Let silence speak for its sound can often be more deafening than a lot of words. Have faith in Me."

Mark 11:24-26
24 There­­­fore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be done for you. 25 And when you stand to pray, forgive whatever you may hold against anyone, 26 so that your heavenly Father may also forgive your sins.”

Thank You Beloved.
