Dear Heavenly Father,

In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty that surrounds us during times of political unrest, we come before You, seeking solace in Your presence. Your Word teaches us in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Oh, Lord, we lay our burdens at Your feet, knowing that You are in control of every situation. We place our trust in Your sovereignty, for Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 21:1, "The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will." We believe that You hold the hearts of our leaders and can guide them towards peace and justice.

Jesus, our Savior, You faced political unrest during Your time on earth. You understand the turmoil and division that we experience today. We implore You to intercede on our behalf, to bring unity and reconciliation among nations, and to soften the hearts of those in power. As it is written in Isaiah 9:6, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Holy Spirit, comforter and guide, we humbly ask for Your wisdom and discernment during these tumultuous times. Fill our hearts with Your peace and help us to remember that Your ways are higher than our own. Galatians 5:22-23 reminds us of the fruits of Your Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. May these fruits be evident in our words, actions, and interactions as we navigate through this politically charged climate.

Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are directly affected by political unrest, persecution, and injustice. Give them strength and courage to stand firm in their faith, knowing that You are with them even in the darkest of times. We also pray for our own families, that You would protect and guide them, shielding them from the harmful effects of political unrest. Help us to be a light in this world, demonstrating Your love and compassion to all.

Lord, we acknowledge that our hope lies solely in You. We place our complete trust in Your perfect plan, even when we cannot see the way before us. As Romans 8:28 assures us, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

Thank You, dear God, for hearing our prayers and for being our refuge and strength in times of trouble. May Your peace reign in our hearts and in the world around us. We give You all honor, glory, and praise, for You alone are worthy.

In the name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

In Your boundless love and mercy, we come before Your mighty throne to seek Your divine protection for our beloved ones. We humbly beseech You to shield them from all harm and danger that may lurk in this broken world. For You are the ultimate protector, the fortress of our souls, and the strength of our weary hearts.

As we lift our voices in prayer, we find solace in the promises of Your Holy Word:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)

Gracious God, we trust in Your unfailing love, knowing that nothing can separate us from the embrace of Your eternal arms. We surrender our fears and concerns, for we believe that You are our refuge, our ever-present help in times of trouble.

Lord Jesus, we implore You to intercede on behalf of our loved ones, for You are the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. Guard them from the snares of the evil one, and lead them along the paths of righteousness. Surround them with Your heavenly angels, that they may be protected from all harm and evil influences.

Holy Spirit, the Comforter and Guide, we invite Your presence into our lives and the lives of our family. Fill our hearts with discernment, that we may walk in Your wisdom and avoid the allure of darkness. Give us the strength to resist temptation, and grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Lord, we pray for those who may be lost or wandering away from Your loving embrace. May they encounter Your divine grace and mercy, that their hearts may be transformed by Your redemptive love. We ask that You draw them near to You, that they may experience the joy and hope found only in You.

Father, we lift up our family before You, knowing that You have a plan and purpose for each of their lives. Grant them good health, abundant blessings, and divine favor in all their endeavors. Strengthen the bonds of love within our family, that we may be a testimony of Your grace and unity.

In every moment of uncertainty or danger, may our faith in You remain unshakable. Help us to trust in Your perfect timing, in the knowledge that You hold our loved ones in the palm of Your hand.

We thank You, Heavenly Father, for the gift of prayer. Thank You for Your constant presence and unwavering love. May Your name be glorified and praised, for You alone are worthy of all honor and adoration. We place our trust in You, knowing that You are the ultimate protector of our loved ones.

In the name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, humbly seeking Your divine presence and guidance. We lift up our voices in prayer for our beloved church, fervently praying for unity and spiritual growth. Your Word reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12:12, "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." May Your grace bind us together as one, united in purpose, and fueled by love for You.

Lord Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we ask for Your hand to be upon our church. May Your love be the guiding force that strengthens our bonds and empowers us to spread Your message of hope and salvation. In Ephesians 4:16, it is written, "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Help us to fulfill our unique roles within the body of Christ, contributing to the growth and edification of the church.

Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Counselor, we invite You into our midst. Fill our hearts with Your wisdom, discernment, and spiritual gifts, enabling us to serve one another selflessly. In Romans 12:4-5, Your Word reminds us, "For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." Guide us to embrace each other’s differences and foster an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and love.

Lord, we acknowledge that our church is not immune to the challenges of this world. We pray for spiritual growth and maturity within our congregation. Strengthen our faith, that we may stand firm in the face of adversity, trusting in Your unfailing promises. In James 1:4, it is written, "And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." May we grow in spiritual maturity, being rooted in Your Word and bearing the fruits of the Spirit.

Father, we also bring before You the needs of our families. We ask for Your divine protection, provision, and guidance. Bless each member of our church with Your grace and mercy. May our families be a reflection of Your love and become beacons of hope in our community.

We place our trust in You, knowing that You are the source of all strength and wisdom. Help us to remain steadfast in our faith, even in the face of trials. Give us the courage to share Your love with those around us, being salt and light in this world. As we pour out our hearts in prayer, we thank You, God the Father, Holy Spirit, and Jesus, for hearing our cries and interceding on our behalf.

In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

In this moment, we come before You, seeking Your guidance and wisdom as we navigate the turbulent waters of parenting teenagers. We recognize that this season of life can be filled with immense challenges and uncertainties, but we trust in Your unfailing love and grace to sustain us.

Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Lord, grant us the wisdom to teach and guide our teenagers in Your ways, so that they may grow to be strong and faithful followers of Christ.

Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray that You would help us to understand the unique struggles our teenagers face in today’s world. Give us the discernment to encourage them, to listen to their concerns, and to offer counsel rooted in Your truth. As we walk alongside them, may we exemplify the love and patience You showed to all those You encountered.

Holy Spirit, we invite Your presence into our homes and our hearts. Fill us with Your divine wisdom as we make decisions that impact the lives of our teenagers. Grant us the ability to differentiate between discipline and control, allowing them the freedom to grow while keeping them within the boundaries of Your Word.

As we navigate the challenges of parenting teenagers, we surrender our fears and worries to You, Lord. Help us to trust in Your plan for their lives, knowing that You have promised in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

We lift up our teenagers to You, Father. Surround them with Your love and protection, shielding them from the pressures and temptations of this world. Strengthen their faith, deepen their understanding, and grant them the courage to stand firm in their convictions.

We also pray for other parents who are facing similar challenges. May they find support and encouragement from fellow believers, and may Your wisdom illuminate their parenting journey. Together, as a community, let us uplift one another and share the burden of raising teenagers in a world that often opposes Your truth.

Lastly, we thank You, God, for being our ever-present help in times of need. Thank You for the privilege of being parents, entrusted with the task of shaping the lives of these precious souls. May our efforts be a reflection of Your love and bring glory to Your name.

In the name of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a heart full of hope and anticipation. As I lift my voice in prayer, I humbly ask for divine opportunities and open doors for Your mighty work to flourish in this world. Your Word tells us in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Lord, I delight in You, and I long to see Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Oh Lord, grant me the grace and strength to boldly proclaim Your name and share the message of salvation. In Acts 4:29-30, the early disciples prayed, "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable Your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus." Father, I pray for the same boldness and power to be a vessel for Your miracles and wonders.

Precious Jesus, You are the One who opens doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). I entrust my desires and plans into Your hands, knowing that You hold the key to every opportunity. I pray for favor and divine connections that will enable Your work to flourish. Pour out Your Spirit upon me, guiding me to the places and people where Your light is needed the most.

Holy Spirit, I invite You to dwell within me, empowering me with Your supernatural wisdom and discernment. Open my eyes to recognize the doors You have opened before me. Help me understand the opportunities that align with Your purpose and the ones that may distract me from Your divine plan. In Proverbs 3:5-6, it is written, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." Holy Spirit, I surrender my desires and plans to You, trusting that You will guide me in the right direction.

As I seek divine opportunities, I pray that You fill my heart with Your love and compassion. Help me see others through Your eyes, reaching out to those who are lost, broken, and in need of Your saving grace. May my actions and words be a reflection of Your love and mercy. In Galatians 5:13, it is written, "Serve one another humbly in love." Lord, grant me the humility and love to serve others selflessly, pointing them towards the hope found in You.

Father, I lift up my family and loved ones to You. Strengthen and protect them, guiding their steps in the path of righteousness. May they also experience the divine opportunities You have in store for them. Fill their hearts with unwavering faith and a deep longing to fulfill Your purposes.

Thank You, dear God, for hearing my prayer. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, orchestrating divine appointments and opening doors that no man can shut. I believe in Your love, Your power, and Your faithfulness. May Your name be glorified through the divine opportunities You provide. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,
In this moment of prayer, we come before Your throne with humble hearts, seeking Your divine favor and the opening of doors of opportunity in our lives. We stand in awe of Your power and grace, knowing that all good things come from You.

Your Word teaches us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Lord, we cling to this promise, knowing that Your plans for us are perfect, and that You desire to bless us abundantly.

Jesus, our Savior, we pray that You would guide our steps in accordance with Your will. You said in John 10:9, "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture." Lord, open the doors of opportunity before us, that we may walk in the path You have set for us.

Holy Spirit, we invite Your presence into our lives and ask for Your wisdom and discernment. As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Lead us, O Spirit, down the paths You have prepared, and grant us favor as we step into new opportunities.

We acknowledge that our faith is not in our own abilities or connections, but in You alone, O God. We believe that You hold the power to open doors that no man can shut, and to shut doors that no man can open. We put our trust in Your unfailing love and sovereignty, knowing that You work all things for the good of those who love You.

Father, we lift up others in prayer, asking that You would also open doors of opportunity for them. May Your favor rest upon their lives, and may they experience the joy of walking through doors that You have opened. We pray especially for our families, that You would shower them with blessings and guide their steps towards Your purpose.

We thank You, dear God, for hearing our prayer and for the assurance that You will answer according to Your perfect timing and plan. We trust in Your goodness and unfailing love, knowing that You are the giver of all good things. We give thanks to You, our God, our Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit, and to Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

In this moment of humble supplication, we approach Your throne with hearts filled with hope and anticipation, seeking Your divine blessings upon this new business venture that lies before us. For You, O God, are the source of all wisdom, provision, and success, and it is in You that we place our trust.

As we embark on this journey, we are reminded of Your words in Proverbs 16:3, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Lord, we commit this new business into Your hands, knowing that with You, all things are possible. Grant us clarity of vision, unwavering determination, and the strength to overcome any obstacles that may come our way.

Precious Jesus, we implore Your guidance and favor, for You are the Good Shepherd who leads His flock. May Your light shine upon our path, illuminating the way forward and revealing the opportunities that lie ahead. We trust in Your promise from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Holy Spirit, our comforter and advocate, we invite Your presence into our business endeavors. Fill us with divine inspiration, creativity, and discernment, that our decisions may align with Your perfect will. May our work be a testament to Your power and may it bring glory to Your name.

Loving Father, we also lift up those with whom we will interact through this venture. May we be a source of blessing and encouragement to our employees, clients, and all those we serve. Teach us to embrace the values of integrity, honesty, and humility, that our business may be a beacon of Your love in this world.

We humbly ask for Your blessings upon our families, O Lord. Grant them strength and peace as we embark on this new journey. May our work bring provision and stability, and may it never overshadow the time we spend with our loved ones. Help us to strike a harmonious balance between our earthly responsibilities and our eternal priorities.

We declare Your promises over this new business, O God. We believe that You are faithful to Your word, and that as we seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, all these things shall be added unto us. In faith, we trust that You will open doors, connect us with the right partners, and grant us favor in the eyes of those we encounter.

With grateful hearts, we come before You, God, to express our deepest appreciation for the blessings that are already on their way. We thank You for the opportunity to witness Your provision and grace, and we declare our unwavering love and commitment to You, our triune God.

In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

I come before Your holy presence today, with a heart overflowing with gratitude and hope. I lift up a prayer for a strong and vibrant youth ministry, one that will impact the next generation for Your glorious kingdom. Lord, I believe that the youth are the torchbearers of tomorrow, and I pray that they may be filled with boldness, passion, and unwavering faith.

Your Word reminds us in 1 Timothy 4:12, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity." Father, I pray that our youth may truly understand the power they possess, and that they may be a shining light in this world, reflecting Your love and grace.

Jesus, my Savior, I ask that You ignite a fire within the hearts of these young men and women. May they be filled with a hunger for Your Word, seeking wisdom and understanding in every step they take. May they be rooted in Your love, so that they can withstand the trials and temptations of this world.

Holy Spirit, I invite You into the midst of our youth ministry. Pour out Your anointing upon our leaders and volunteers, equipping them with the wisdom and discernment to guide these young souls in their journey of faith. Grant them creativity and innovation to engage the youth in ways that captivate their hearts and minds, drawing them closer to You.

Lord, in this prayer, I also ask for unity within our youth ministry. Help them to see past differences, embracing one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. May they support and encourage one another, building a community that reflects Your love and acceptance.

Father God, I pray for those who are struggling in their faith, grappling with doubts and uncertainties. Strengthen their belief in Your unfailing love, and remind them of Your promises. May they find solace in Your presence and discover renewed hope in Your Word.

As I conclude this prayer, I lift up all the families represented in our youth ministry. Lord, grant them wisdom and patience as they nurture these young souls. May their homes be filled with Your peace and joy, and may they serve as a sanctuary where the youth can grow in their faith.

Thank You, Father, for the privilege of praying for our youth ministry. I trust in Your perfect plan and timing. I surrender all my hopes and desires into Your capable hands. May Your will be done in the lives of these young individuals, and may they forever be rooted in the love of God, the grace of Jesus, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, gracious and loving God, I come before you today, seeking your divine protection for my beloved [name]. Lord, I believe in the power of prayer, knowing that you are the ultimate source of strength and safety. Your word reminds us in Psalm 91:11-12, "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone."

Oh Lord, I lift up [name] into your loving arms, knowing that you are our shield and fortress. I pray that you would surround [name] with your divine protection, guarding their path and shielding them from any harm or danger. In the face of adversity, may your shield of safety be a wall around them, keeping them from the attacks of the enemy.

Jesus, you taught us in Matthew 6:13 to pray, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." I ask that you would guide [name] away from any temptation or harmful influences. Protect them from the snares of the enemy, and lead them into the light of your truth and love.

Holy Spirit, I pray that you would fill [name]’s heart with your presence and wisdom. Give them discernment to make choices that honor you and bring glory to your name. May they never walk alone, but always feel your comforting presence by their side.

Dear Lord, I trust in your divine providence and sovereignty. I believe in your unwavering love and faithfulness. Help me to surrender my worries and anxieties about [name] into your capable hands, knowing that you have a perfect plan for their life. Strengthen my faith and grant me the peace that surpasses all understanding, as I entrust [name] into your care.

I also pray for all those who are in need of your protection and guidance. May your love surround them, and may they experience the peace that comes from knowing you. Lord, bless my family and keep them safe. May your love and grace abound in their lives, leading them to walk in your ways.

Thank you, dear God, God the Father, Holy Spirit, and Jesus, for hearing my prayer and for your constant love and protection. I commit [name] into your loving arms, knowing that you will guard and guide them in all their ways. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today, seeking a spirit-filled life, surrendering my will to Yours. As I embark on this journey, I am reminded of the words from Your Holy Scriptures, in Romans 12:1, where it states, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

Oh Lord, I long to surrender every aspect of my life to Your divine purpose. Help me to lay down my desires and ambitions, and instead, embrace Your perfect will for me. Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see the path You have set before me, and grant me the strength and courage to follow it faithfully.

Precious Jesus, I am reminded of Your words in Luke 9:23, where You declared, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Help me, Lord, to deny myself and carry my cross, even when it may be difficult. I surrender my dreams, my plans, and my desires at Your feet, knowing that Your way is higher and Your plans are greater.

Holy Spirit, I invite You to fill me to overflowing. Cleanse my heart of any impurity, and fill me with Your holy presence. Galatians 5:22-23 reminds me of the fruits You produce in those who submit to Your will: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Help me to manifest these fruits in my daily life, that others may see Your light shining through me.

Father, I pray for those who may be struggling with their identity. May they find solace in Your loving arms, knowing that You created them in Your image. Guide them, Lord, to seek Your truth, and grant them the strength to surrender their lives to Your will. Help them to find healing and restoration in the love You offer.

Lord, I lift up my family before You. May they also experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from surrendering to Your will. Strengthen our bonds, and grant us the wisdom to love one another as You have loved us. May our unity be a testament to Your goodness and grace.

I place my trust in You, Lord, knowing that You hold my future in Your hands. Help me to walk in faith, knowing that You are always with me, guiding and protecting me. Thank You, God, for the incredible love You have poured out upon me. I am forever grateful for Your mercy and grace.

In the name of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and our Savior Jesus Christ, I pray.

Amen.

Heavenly Father, source of all comfort and restoration, we come before You in prayer, seeking Your divine intervention in the lives of those who are suffering from mental illness. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." We lift up those who are burdened by the weight of their minds, and we ask for Your healing touch upon their lives.

Dear God, we know that You are the Great Physician, capable of healing both the body and the mind. We pray that You would bring comfort to those who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or any other mental health condition. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." May they find solace in the arms of our Savior, knowing that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Holy Spirit, we ask for Your divine guidance and wisdom to lead those affected by mental illness to the right resources and treatments. Help them find strength in the support of their loved ones and in the community of believers. Remind them that they are not alone, for in 1 Peter 5:7, we are encouraged to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us.

Lord, we pray for a spiritual awakening in the hearts of those struggling with mental illness. May they experience the transformative power of Your love and grace. Open their eyes to the truth found in Romans 8:28, that You work all things together for the good of those who love You. Help them see that their pain can be transformed into a testimony of Your faithfulness.

Father God, we also lift up those who are caregivers and family members of those battling mental illness. Grant them strength, patience, and compassion as they walk alongside their loved ones. In Proverbs 18:21, it says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Fill their mouths with words of encouragement and hope, that they may speak life into the weary souls of those they care for.

We trust in Your infinite wisdom, dear Lord, knowing that You can bring healing to the deepest wounds of the mind. We cling to Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." We believe in Your power to restore and redeem. May Your love and mercy flow through the lives of those seeking healing from mental illness.

In faith, we entrust these prayers into Your capable hands, O God. We thank You, God the Father, Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus, for Your unwavering love and compassion. May Your healing touch bring comfort and restoration to all those in need. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

In the midst of this chaotic world, I humbly come before Your throne, seeking a spirit of discernment to recognize Your voice. As I turn to Your holy Word, guide me in understanding and applying the truths found within.

Your Word, O Lord, assures me that Your voice is gentle, yet powerful, like a whisper in the wind (1 Kings 19:12). Grant me ears to hear Your soft whispers, even amidst the noise and distractions of this world. Help me to discern Your voice from the counterfeit voices that seek to lead me astray.

Jesus, my Savior, You declared, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). Enable me to distinguish Your voice above all others, so that I may faithfully follow Your lead and walk according to Your will. Help me to align my desires with Yours, surrendering my own understanding and embracing Your divine wisdom.

Holy Spirit, I surrender my heart, my mind, and my spirit to You. Fill me with Your presence, that I may be sensitive to Your promptings and guidance. Enable me to discern between truth and deception, light and darkness, righteousness and sin. Empower me to walk in the light of Your truth, holding fast to Your Word as a lamp unto my feet (Psalm 119:105).

Gracious God, I recognize that discernment is not something I can attain on my own. It is a gift from You, given to those who seek Your wisdom with humility and reverence. Increase my hunger for Your truth and grant me the patience to diligently seek and study Your Word. May discernment become a natural outpouring of my relationship with You.

Father, I pray not only for the spirit of discernment in my own life, but also for those around me. May my family, friends, and loved ones also be granted this precious gift. May they recognize Your voice and be led by Your Spirit in all areas of their lives. Surround them with discerning hearts, that they may navigate the challenges of this world with clarity and wisdom.

I place my trust in You, O God, knowing that You are faithful to guide and direct me. I believe in Your unfailing love and the power of prayer. Strengthen my faith, Lord, that I may walk in step with Your will and purpose for my life.

Thank You, God, for the privilege of prayer and for Your unending grace. I rejoice in the knowledge that You hear my prayers and answer them according to Your perfect timing. May Your voice resound in my heart, leading me closer to You each day.

In the name of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
