Love the Lord! Be strong because of your hope in the Lord. In other words, recognize where your strength is. Acknowledge your source of grace. Give praise to God for his abundant mercy and power lavished on us through his Holy Spirit. The Lord God does preserve his people. He does honor faithfulness even if it is mocked in this world.

Give me strength, O Lord, for I find myself in trying times with enemies at my door and opponents on every side. Please give me wisdom to see your grace that leads me.

Please keep my hope passionately alive as I wait for your work in me to be accomplished. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
