“I will proclaim Your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will praise You.” — Psalm 22:22 (NIV)
Lord our God, Almighty Father in heaven,
we come before You as Your beloved children—
grateful that You protect us through the trials of our time,
through every shadow of sin and threat of death.
We praise You, Father,
for granting us peace even in a world filled with unrest,
and for the deep assurance of Your ever-present help.
Even in our suffering, we choose not to remain in despair.
Instead, we lift our hearts in worship,
determined to glorify You in all things.
For Your kingdom is near—it is already breaking through.
It brings comfort, gives us strength,
and lights the way forward for all people.
May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
