Heavenly Father, thank you for the the certain hope that we have in your promises. Thank you that we can be connected to him through faith, knowing that he is the anchor of our soul, holding us sure in all things. Thank you that we know he holds us securely connected to you, having made forgiveness for us and brought us right in close to your loving presence. Thank you that he holds us firm, even in the face of death, our triumphant Lord of life. Father, please grow us up in him. Make us like him day by day, and stir our hearts to praise and thankfulness of his abundant grace.
Amen
