This has been given to you on behalf of Christ, not only so that you may believe in him, but even so that you may suffer with him (Philippians 1:29; CPDV).
I join my pain
To yours, Lord Christ,
And offer it
In sacrifice
For all who suffer,
Grieve, and fear.
Please comfort them,
And keep them near.
Help all of them
To turn to you,
Then find new life
With you, Lord, too.
Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone (Romans 5:18; NLT).
