The end of a matter is better than its beginning, 
and patience is better than pride. - Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NIV)

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to be patient as you work in and with me to bring about new life. Amen.

The RESILIENCE conference in 2021 was so uplifting and nourishing. It was wonderful to be with other Christians around the world at this retreat, who truly care about responding to trauma in a compassionate way by teaching spiritual practices to help with grounding and healing.”

Join us for the next RESILIENCE conference on September 29-30, 2023. Learn more at UpperRoom.org/resilience.
