"Almighty God, give us such confidence in you that we may trust you at all times. Give us such knowledge of our own weakness that we may rely on you alone. We thank you for the sympathy and love which you have in your common suffering with us. May we give this comfort to those who know you not. Amen."

"We are grateful that You did overcome the evil one, and that through you we may also overcome. May we, like Moses of old, endure as seeing him who is invisible. May we add to self-control patience. Help us today to overcome evil with good, until we become habitual victors. Amen."

"Our Father, may we fill our lives full of right purposes and deeds; may we follow the example of Christ in properly performing first duties. Fill the future full of blessing by fulfilling present requirements. Keep us, we pray you, from omitting the proper steps in our Christian development. In Christ's name. Amen."

"Almighty God, our Father in heaven, we are grateful that your truth has always had its champions; that the very wilderness cries out when your Word is not honored in the sanctuary. We thank you that the people long for the Living Word. Raise up preachers, we pray you, who may fearlessly and zealously proclaim your truth. In Christ's name. Amen."
