Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truth that it contains. How I praise You for the faithfulness that You have shown to Your people, Israel, and for the goodness and grace You have bestowed on the Church. Thank You that when I read Your Word, I can learn more of Your goodness and grace, Your righteousness character, Your merciful nature, Your faithfulness toward Your people, Israel, and Your love for the Body of Christ. Keep me faithful in prayer for those in authority. I pray for kings and presidents and for all nations. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
