Lord Jesus Christ, you have conquered the world.
In you we take courage, and in you we have peace.
Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God,
may we use your gifts to us in service to others.
When our leaders grow weary in doing good,
help us to uphold them as they serve you.
May we always be glad in our Maker
and ever rejoice in you, our King.

Let Israel be glad in its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
Exod. 17:11-12
Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the sun set.
1 Peter 4:10
Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
John 16:33
“…I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!” [Jesus, to his disciples]
