Good Morning, St. John’s students, faculty, and staff. Let us pause in our day to pray. Today we ask for guidance in living our life to the best of our ability when things don't go as we plan. Let us ask our God for grace and strength in seeking His help and seeing His will in our daily life.

(Pause)

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Lord Jesus, How often we ask why:

when illness or other adversity strikes–“Why me?”

in the rubble of natural disasters–“Why here?”

when the answer to prayer isn’t what we had in mind–“Why not?”

Loving Savior, help me to regard whatever comes my way this day as an opportunity:

to give thanks for blessings undeserved;

in offering forgiveness, to be undeterred;

to look for ways to turn things around;

in prayer, to be faithful that You won’t let me down.

to remain hopeful in You, who knows my every need;
