Scripture and Prayer for the Day……………………..
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. And they cried out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Revelation 7:9–10
Lord God, we turn to you, praying that your kingdom may come. May your Jerusalem really come on earth, with all those blessed ones who are allowed to gather around Jesus Christ through forgiveness of sins and the resurrection. Come with your light into our time so that sins may be forgiven and men may find salvation. Remember those in great distress. Come with your help to those struggling with sin or death, for help can come from you alone. Nothing can help us except your fatherly love in Jesus Christ. Praised be your name! Amen.
