scripture

Now may the God of peace—
who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
may he equip you with all you need
for doing his will.
May he produce in you,
through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

Hebrews 13.20-21

reflection

“Prayer is listening as well as speaking, receiving as well as asking; and its deepest mood is friendship held in reverence.  So the daily prayer should end as it begins—in adoration…. The word ‘Amen’ is not idle: it means ‘So let it be.’  It is our resolve to live faithfully in the direction of our prayers, and our act of faith in God’s power.”

George A. Buttrick, Prayer
