May your faithful love rest on us, Lord, for we put our hope in you. Lord, we look to you, we wait for you, for you are out help and shield. Our hearts rejoice in you for we trust in your holy name. We have seen your faithfulness unfold throughout the generations, though we have often been faithless. We have seen you pour out your steadfast love through Christ. Seeing this we can shout for joy and victory, knowing that all things are under his good rule, even our faltering hearts. Please form our hearts by your Spirit that we may be like Christ. May we fear you and stand in awe, and put our hope in you.
Amen.
