Father, You are El Roi, the God who sees us. You know us better than we know ourselves and better than most of us like to admit. Your Word nourishes our souls, builds our faith, and sustains us through the rough patches of life. It is the rock and foundation upon which we stand. It brings joy, edification, and order to our days. It is trustworthy and true.
We pray in thanksgiving for our God, who goes out for the salvation of His beloved. We exalt Your goodness in the name and authority of Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“O LORD, You know; Remember me and visit me, And take vengeance for me on my persecutors. In Your enduring patience, do not take me away. Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke. Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15: 15-16 NKJV)
