John 16:33
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
O my Father, I thank you for the peace of mind and heart You have given me through Your Son Jesus, my Lord. Thank you for Your great power and goodness, for Your love and compassion for me and mine, and all You have made. Thank you that Jesus has overcome the world, this world system, that is fighting so vigorously against Your ways. Thank you that you will continue to be with us, and will never leave us, nor forsake us to our poor, foolish choices. Teach us Your ways, Father; bring Your righteousness back into American national life, that we can again be that city on the hill, shining Your light unto the nations.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
