Heb 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Eph 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
Eph 3:21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Oh Father in Heaven, Holy is your Name.
I thank you for the Church, the Body of Christ, my Brothers and Sisters in Jesus, for all of them here at FR.
I ask that you would give them good cheer and comfort tonight.
I ask that you would send answers as well as patience for what they are seeking and praying.
I ask that you would dispel pain and anxiety and bring to mind some Joy inspiring Scripture.
I ask that you would tend their young ones and all the families, overseeing us with your tender care.
I thank you that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, may the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, now and forever, Amen.

Far down the ages now,
Her journey well nigh done,
The pilgrim Church pursues her way,
And longs to reach her crown.
No wider is the gate,
No broader is the way,
No smoother is the ancient path
That leads to light and day.
No feebler is the foe,
No slacker grows the fight,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield and helmet bright.
Thus onward still we press,
Through evil and through good,
Through pain, or poverty, or want,
Through peril or through blood.
Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where He leads the way,
The kingdom still in view.
--Horatius Bonar, April, 1865
