(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
1 Samuel 5
Lord of our Salvation, even when the events around us seem to suggest Your defeat, help us to remember that this is only a temporary vision on a cloudy day of disaster. False idols will surely fall on their faces and be utterly destroyed, and Your enemies will face horrible panic and retribution. Give us confidence today that we are Your children, beloved by You, and that the day of vindication is surely coming soon.
1 John 1
Glorious God, You sent Your Son. He is the Word of Life made manifest to us. We have heard the truth of Christ and we now proclaim this truth everywhere. Grant that we would walk in the light as He is in the light. Forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Isaiah 43
O Lord, You have redeemed us. Through water and flame, through every fiery trial, You are still with us. You call us Your sons and Your daughters. You love us and protect us. We are Your witnesses throughout the earth in Your Son Jesus Christ. There is no other Savior. There is no other Judge. You are the Holy One, and You are the King. You are doing a new thing, and You will not be stopped. Forgive us our sins, O Lord. We sinned against You in Adam, and we have sinned against You in our own days. You forgive us. You discipline us. You love us.
