“Seek God’s favor, humbling yourself under his mighty hand, and he will raise you up in your time. Bring your concerns to him as you would a loving father. Be alert to danger, because temptation prowls like a roaring lion, looking for souls to devour. Resist weakness, standing firm with the faithful around the world. The God of creation has called you by name, and loves you as his own. After you have suffered a little while, he will heal your wounds, and take you home safe at last.”
1 Peter 5
