Jesus, my Precious Lord and Savior, You are the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. You are the One with the power to give life and to raise those who have died with Your words. You are the Creator who spoke everything into being. There is no power that can silence Your Word, for it cannot be chained. The gospel goes out by Your power and might, not by the power of men. I praise You for that truth, Lord. I gain sweet comfort from it. I pray in Your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.” (2 Timothy 2: 1,8-9 NKJV)
