Lord God, we pray for the spirit of longsuffering to take root, help Charles know that You Lord, You are at work to produce something out of the situation he was led into by the devil. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning, Father, by Your spirit let Charles realise that You are with him thru his trials and yes it may take long, many nights but it shall end well in Jesus name. As he waits upon let him hear Your voice of correction, Lord, it is the wilderness where You sit us down and chasten us as Your dear sons. And fro there, properity comes. Father humble us and exalt us in the fullness of time, make us as soft as clay and let Your might hand work on us to bring us to Your Son's likeness. Father we thank for Your enduring mercies, forgive our questioning in Jesus name...amen
