  September 22nd Note
  
  When times are difficult and things aren’t going the way we planned in our lives it is important to remember how our Lord empowers us to endure. We can look to the apostle Paul as an example of just how we can use those seemingly “less than ideal” conditions to further Christ’s kingdom. In prison and facing impending death, he prayed day and night and kept his mind focused on our Savior’s work. May God give us the strength each day to do the same.
