Father,
You are the One True God of

prophecy into existence and fulfill it, by Your sovereign power, in Your
perfect time, and according to Your divine purpose. Your eternal glory and
sovereign power are revealed as You watch over Your Word to fulfill it, just as
it was recorded by Your servants the prophets in the Bible. As You watch over Your Word to fulfill it,
Your eternal kingdom is being built upon the foundation laid by Jesus the
Messiah, Your eternal, beloved Son in Whom is the forgiveness of sins, and for
Whom and through Whom all has been made. Glory and praise to You and to Jesus
our Lord for Your eternal, unthwartable power to bring every good work that You
have begun to completion. May the ministry of the Holy Spirit be glorious in
our midst through the ministry of Your Word and of the Gospel, bringing many
sons and daughters to glory in Christ, revealing Your divine power to build Your
kingdom with the living stones who are precious in Your sight, chosen,
justified, sanctified and glorified by Your sovereign grace to all who believe
and receive the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of Man.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
