Father GOD, thank You for the week we have hopefully more than survived. We hope we have well served You. We hope we have pleased You. You have pleased us with life, forgiveness, mercy, and grace. With people we love and who love us. With air to breathe, water to refresh us, and clean the grime from our hands and feet. And that’s only for starters.
You know the days that are coming. Days of anything but peace and anything but joy. Forgive us. Come LORD JESUS and rescue the captives. Come and retrieve the earth from the clutches of the evil one and restore it to its original beauty. Come, LORD, and bring judgment and redemption to not just the planet but we the people here on this sod.  We long for Your Return. For the Sky to break open and reveal You in Your Majesty as King of Kings and LORD of Lords. We long for You to ride across the horizon and speak the Word that will silence all Your enemies and bring Your People to unanimous rejoicing with Your timely Glorious Appearance.
But until then, Father, help us to keep on singing, keep on proclaiming Your Gospel and loving You and each other with all our beings. Amen and amen in the Merits of JESUS, Your Holy and Perfect Son, our Savior and LORD.
