Prayer: God of Love, today I pray for single parents. Parenting is hard enough – but to raise children as a single parent is a special challenge. Bless these mothers and fathers and give them strength. Help them to understand that You are always near. Give them the courage to ask for help, and be with them as they struggle. Amen.
John 15:26-16:4A
Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me.
And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
“I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you
will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. I have told you this so that when their hour comes
you may remember that I told you.”
