“Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” Psalms 27:14
Abba, our Father God, you created us and therefore you own us. To obey your commands is all that we were created for. To worship you and to glorify you is our ultimate goal in fulfilling this religious duty. Thank you in calling us and justifying us to serve you as your children. Father, it is only you who has the power to see the end from the beginning. You chose us before the foundation of the world and ordained us to be heirs of your heavenly kingdom. You continually sanctify us just as you purify gold by fire, we shall come out of the tribulations and trials as perfect and holy as you are. That is why we are taught that trials will surely come our way to test our faith and our hope. Lord we ask that you help us to endure in the face of all challenges. Make us be patient to wait for your salvation amids all difficulties in life. Most of all give us a trusting heart in your love and compassion. Finally, Lord, give us a strong heart to fight a good fight of faith and a refreshed spirit to keep us moving forward towards our eternal destiny in Paradise. Amen.
