Father you are a God who works salvation.

There is none like you.

No one that we can count on like you.

You know, and you see and you weigh;

You break the bows of the mighty and bind up the feeble;

You empty the full and feed the empty;

You make the barren fruitful and the mother of many forlorn;

You kill and you bring to life;

You make poor and you make rich;

You bring low and you exalt;

You raise up the needy to fill them with good things;

You will guard the faithful and destroy the wicked;

Might shall not prevail;

You will judge the earth and exalt your king.

A Life of Purpose - 2 Timothy 4:6-22

Father, may we say

I have fought the good fight

I have finished the race

I have kept the faith.

And when we say that, may it be true and not an expression of self-delusion.

Thank-you that you will stand with us.

You will strengthen us,

You will rescue us,

And bring us safely to your heavenly kingdom.

Amen
