Trust in the blood of the Lamb God provides


O God of Israel, grant me the faith I need
to put my trust in the blood of the Lamb you provide.
I come confessing my unworthiness
while rejoicing in your love and grace.
Amen

Be willing to access joy in the face of adversity


"Be willing to access joy

in the face of adversity."
- C.W. Metcalf


"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts."
Romans 5:3-5


Though our hope in Jesus Christ, through whom we have received reconciliation,
we rejoice already now. Even though many tests in our lives come over us,
let us be stronger than this and give that we ourselves still feel happy.
Let us stand and win life.
You have the victory wreath of life promised. We hope for it.
Lord, protect me in my expectations
and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Don’t disappoint me.
