PRAY

Gracious Father, giver of every good and perfect gift, in you alone we find hope. May your steadfast presence in our lives sustain us in all circumstances. Reveal to us anew the living foundation of eternal hope.

Isaiah 7:14

Isaiah 9:2

Revelation 11:16–18

And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
