May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Thank you Lord, for being my encourager, for the strength and peace that you offer us, for the hope of eternal life and for choosing me to me your child. May you continue to be with me each and every moment of my life, O God, may your grace and love surround me and may your living word continue to give me strength to face each day, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
