Lord, hear our prayer:

Mighty Lord, we thank you for those whose words and deeds have enabled us to stand firm for Christ; for those whose witness and Christ-likeness have given us strength and courage when we most needed it. We thank you that again and again when we have found our hold on you and your word growing weaker, you have held on to us and kept us safe; that when we had lost our confidence in you, you gave us hope. We thank you in the name of our Redeemer and Refuge, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
