Our Father in heaven,
You have your own perfect plans for us. You know exactly how best to form us and shape us, how to mold our character and bend our will. Help us to trust you as you do your perfect work.
Cause us to always keep looking toward Jesus as the perfect example of humanity. He perfectly understands us in all of our trials and our weaknesses because he live through such things himself.
We receive him also as the perfect Savior, who died for us, rose again, and is the source of eternal life for all of us who believe.
With Martha we can respond to Jesus by saying, “Yes, Lord; we believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world.”
Amen.
