1 Peter 1:6-12 | Solace for Seasons of Trials

May the God of all glory and the deepest joy
lead you to rejoice because of who you are in Him.

May the suffering undergone by your sympathetic Savior
be a solace to you as you undergo trials of many kinds.

May the refining fire of these sufferings serve to purify your faith—
leading you in your hardest moments back into the arms of your Savior.

Above all, when times are tough
and you fear that you might get crushed by the weight of such trials,
may the living hope we hold in Jesus Christ,
who at the last day will make all things new,
allow you to rejoice in anticipation of our God
who will eternally dwell among His people
and wipe away every tear from their eyes.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
