Holy God,
We may never know, this side of heaven, the extent to which our prayers are being answered during this 40-day campaign. It is easy to be discouraged and to fall into the devil’s traps of deception. But You have called us to pray-—to be strong, and to take courage. You have called us to walk by faith and not by sight. You have called us to trust in You with all our hearts, and to lean not upon our own understanding. And so we pray, with hearts yearning for Your most powerful answers, and with a faith that is confident in knowing that You do respond to the prayers of those who call You Lord. Out of respect for life and out of love for the Savior, we pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
'The Lord Bless you from Zion;
The Lord Who Made Heaven and Earth.' (Ps.134:3)
