6.24.20

Thank you, Lord, for teaching us. Thank you for giving us strength and perseverence. Thank you for being gentle with us. Help us not to forget or take advantage of your faithfulness. Help us to be good examples of your love. Help us to be gracious with us. Give us wisdom and humility. Help us to be peacable and merciful as you are.

Thank you for never leaving us. Write your Word on our hearts over and over again. Bring it back to our remembrance in times when we just need that verse so bad. Encourage our hearts and renew our hope. Dry our tears and hold us close. Heal us over and over again. Thank you that we don't go through any of these things alone.

And you will never abandon us or our children. Your faithful love will be with them as it is with us. You will show yourself strong on their behalf as you do ours. You will weep with them and rejoice over them, restore them, unite them, honor them and value them. Thank you for your covenant of love. We will fulfill our vows to you, O God. We will praise your name throughout all generations. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. Amen
