Heavenly Father, in Thy tender mercy: grant us the grace to be vessels of peace bearing Thy consolation to our brothers and sisters who struggle with mental illness; and, we beg of Thee, to those faithful servants who are called to accompany the afflicted in their sufferings, especially those caring souls who bear a similar cross, provide continual hope and the company of good friends to sustain them in Thy service; grant this, we humbly beseech Thee, loving Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God world without end. Amen.

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 3:1-3

I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.
