Try Jesus

Matthew 16:18 I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Our Prayer

Heavenly Father, no matter what we witness or endure in this day’s journey, Your plans for Your people reach far beyond the “here and now.” Though circumstances may seem dire, pain may run deep, and failures may weigh heavily, You remain Lord over the winds and waves of life’s storms. You still hold great purpose and abundant blessings for us. In You, we always have reason to hope for brighter days ahead, and we stand confident that even the gates of hell will not prevail against Your people.

Father God, there are times when life feels heavy and severe. The news we receive is not always good, and we often struggle to process it all. When anxiety and doubt creep into our hearts, remind us that our lives are never out of control—we are securely held in Your hands. Reassure us that every circumstance will ultimately work together for our good and for Your glory. Lord, we place our full trust in You.

Lord, when the storms pass, our eyes are opened to see Your hand more clearly and to appreciate the fullness of Your work. Though we may have been knocked down, we were not destroyed. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy will surely come in the morning. Holy God, remind us again and again that we are safe and secure in Your loving hands, and that You are all we need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
