I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You

 We who have trusted Christ as our Savior, have received the Holy Spirit of power by grace through faith in Christ. He has brought about our adoption into son-ship, and through Him we are enabled to cry, as we boldly approach the throne of grace, for mercy to find help in time of need.
 When we are looking to Jesus, and when the eyes of our heart are firmly fixed upon Him, we have a confidence in the promises of His Word, His Word is true and His promises stand fast forever and ever.
 Jesus reminded us: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You and lo I am with you always - even to the very end of the age."
I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, the increasing violence and wickedness in this world and the terrors that seem to increasingly stalk our paths, have too often caused us to divert our attention onto our mounting problems, instead of looking to Jesus and trusting Your Word. Thank You that no matter what happens in this world, You have promised to be with us. You are our Provider and Protector, our Defense and Defender. Thank You for the Holy Spirit and Your peace that passes understanding, where we can rest in Your love and praise Your holy name. And thank You that we have been brought into Your family, by grace through faith in Jesus. In His name we pray, AMEN.
