In our deepest hurt, in our darkest of moments, when we are so far down the only way to look is up, You are there, Jesus. You wait in the shadows to see Your word established in us. You call us by name to come out of the darkness and into Your marvelous light. We call upon You in repentance for redemption and restoration in Your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
βAnd remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.β (Deuteronomy 5:15 NKJV)
