When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. Then He placed His right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." (Rev 1:17-18)
Dearest Jesus, You paid a terrible price for our redemption. Forgive our sins and help us always. Guide our footsteps and open our hearts to the needs of others. Grant us hope, insight and wisdom so that we can fight discouragement and depression. Help us to know without question that You are indeed in control and ever mindful of us and our concerns and needs. Defend us before the evil which accuses and seeks to destroy us. Rescue us, Mighty Lord, and let love grow and flourish. Thank You Jesus! Amen!
