(85) For it is Christ who is the “Yes,” the answer, to all of God’s promises. And so through him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God. Now God himself makes us sure, together with you, of our life in union with Christ; God himself has set us apart, has placed his mark of ownership upon us, and has given us the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the pledge of all he has in store for us. - 2 Corinthians 1:20–22 Lord our God,from whom great promises are given for all mankind and especially for your people, we gather in your presence. We rejoice before you, for your promise is sure and your works will be revealed to the glory of your name. Grant us steadfast faith in the grace of Jesus Christ. Grant us faith to hold firm, and in spite of all evil to trust that you are ruling and will set everything right. Lord our God, our Father, we cry to you. As the deer pants for refreshing water, so in our time our souls cry out to you, “Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as in heaven.” Amen.
