Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with Jesus Christ, the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Philippians 4:4-5 TPT
God, thank You for this time together, for Your light that does not dim. We praise You for being the changeless Lord of all creation. We cannot predict You. We cannot control You. We cannot presume to know Your ways. But we can completely trust You to be present and faithful, loving and consistent. Lord, we are humbled before You, we only exist by Your will and we only know Jesus by Your grace. Thank You for the hope (the many hopes) of life in the new heaven and new earth, Your kingdom come. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
