In Christ Jesus our Lord we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him. Ephesians 3:12
Empowering God, you are able to do far more than anything we could ever ask or imagine. On our own, we are lacking in so many ways. Give us strength in our weakness, faith in our fear, power in our powerlessness. We boldly put our trust in you. Amen.
