This prayer reminds us that every week begins and ends with God. His faithfulness has carried us through the past days, and his presence will meet us again tomorrow.
Scripture for the Evening
“Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” — Hebrews 10:23–25, NRSV
