Saturday, December 17 — Psalm 144:9–15
2 Kings 16:1–17:6; Acts 5:1–11
I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. Psalm 116:1
The angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.” Luke 1:13
Gracious God, there is much in our world to make us afraid. We give thanks that your Holy Spirit intercedes for us; we know you never forsake us. We lift our praise to you as your love overcomes all that we fear. Amen.
