PostPRAYER

PRAYER Lord God, our Heavenly Father, we have witnessed Your faithfulness across every season, and we are humbled to be counted among Your children. We pray before You today, grateful that by Your mercy we are heard. We stand before You in a moment that asks much of us. We confess that we fall short of Your glory and we approach You on no other basis than Your mercy. Yet we stand not in our own righteousness but by Your grace alone, secured for us through the cross and resurrection of Christ. And therefore we stand not in despair but in quiet confidence, knowing that neither this moment, nor any other, can separate us from Your love. For no government, no ruler, no power on earth has ever been required to accomplish Your purposes, nor can any of them stand against You. Your kingdom has outlasted every empire that imagined itself invincible, and it will outlast this moment too. Hear us then, through our Savior, in whom every promise of God is yes. Grant us the peace that is not the absence of trouble but Your presence within it, and joy that this week cannot take from us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit within us. For the sake of our families, our children, all who gather in Your name, and our nation, we trust in You. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
