Thank You that though all about us may be war and rumors of war, we are not to be discouraged, for these things must come to pass. Thank You, Creator God, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be preached throughout the world and to all nations before the end will come. How we thank You that You are not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, such is Your love. May we take comfort, O God, in Your assurance that in Your hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. To You be Glory, now and forevermore, Amen ...
