Prayer

O God full of grace,

How faithful You are! You show no partiality, and You do not wish for anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. Your intention has been made known to the world through the atoning sacrifice accomplished by Your only beloved Son, Jesus Christ. We who have been redeemed are able to become children of God and to live in the abundance of God. The grace of God is our peace. May our testimony draw our family members and all people into the peace of the Lord. And may we be able to share in God’s intention, following wholeheartedly in the way of the Lord, for this is an incomparably good life. May the people and matters we remember in prayer be pleasing to You; and may those we care for be those whom You also care for. In ancient times, Noah found favour in the eyes of God, and his family of eight were all saved when the flood destroyed the world; humanity was able to continue. May we also find favour today, living a life of testimony, so that the promise “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household” may come upon our homes. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
