Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for how You instruct us to thrive and not fear by placing all our trust in You.

Strengthen us so that we do not allow the disorder of the world to take us captive and place us in the arms of the enemy.

Thank You for telling us that “for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Those who believe in Him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God,”

May it always be so. Amen.
