COT: Today, is St. Patrick’s day, but who is St. Patrick? He was born into an English / Roman noble family, and was brought to Ireland at a young age where he worked as a slave. He escaped and returned to England where he joined the priesthood. Returning to Ireland, he set about converting the Irish people to Christianity. That’s your historical note to understand the stories behind our traditions.

You can adjust the number of reps and time duration based on your fitness level and the intensity of your workout.

Words of wisdom:

1. Don’t stop when it hurts, stop when you’re done.” This phrase encourages you to push through the pain and discomfort of a workout and to keep going until you’ve completed your goal. It reminds you that the reward of achieving your fitness goals is worth the temporary discomfort of a tough workout.
2. “Sweat now, shine later.” This phrase reminds you that hard work and dedication pays off in the end. When you’re pushing through a difficult workout, it’s important to remember that the sweat and effort you’re putting in now will lead to a healthier, stronger, and more confident version of yourself in the future.
3. “Every rep counts.” This phrase reminds you that every small effort you put in during your workout is valuable and contributes to your progress. Whether it’s one more push-up, one more squat, or one more minute on the treadmill, every rep counts and brings you closer to your fitness goals.

COT: Heavenly Father,
We come to you today with heavy hearts, praying for all families who are going through health and hard times. We ask that you would be with them, providing comfort, strength, and healing during this difficult season.
Lord, we know that you are the ultimate healer, and we pray that you would touch every family member who is in need of physical or emotional healing. May your love and grace be poured out upon them, bringing wholeness and restoration to their bodies and minds.
We also pray for the families who are struggling or facing other hardships. We ask that you would provide for their needs, and that you would give them the wisdom to make wise decisions in their circumstances.
Lord, we pray that you would help families to lean on one another during this time, and to draw closer to you. May they find peace in the midst of their struggles, and may their faith in you grow stronger with each passing day.
Finally, we pray that you would give them hope for the future, and that you would show them your plan for their lives. May they trust in your goodness and grace, knowing that you are always with them, even in the darkest of times.
We thank you for hearing our prayers, and we trust that you will be with all families going through health and hard times. In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
