When suffering comes suddenly, we often have no
coherent spiritual thoughts - a quick prayer if
anything - as our thoughts focus mainly on trying
to improve a situation by solving a problem or
avoiding some (additional?) suffering. Given
this common reaction, it’s often wise to pray a
quick
morning offering .
Or if you wish, consider a different morning offering
such as
this one
and give to God whatever suffering might come today.
This morning offering then confirms for God as the day
begins that our hearts are still set on serving Him today
even in unexpected suffering (or an ongoing painful circumstance).
