Bless the work of those who bring rescue and relief. Enable Your church to support and comfort those who are suffering, pointing them to the hope and purpose You hold for all who trust in You.

Building Healthy Families: Do hurtful or disrespectful words sometimes come out of your mouth during the week as you interact with your spouse or family? If so, know that continuing this habit unchecked is damaging to your relationships in ways that you might not even know. Try memorizing this verse and call it to mind when you are tempted to bite at someone you love this week: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14). You – and your relationships – will be better for it! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
