Words for the Weary
Tuesdays in the Old Tetstament
1 Chronicles 17:10b-14
“‘Furthermore, I declare to you that the Lord himself will build a house for you. When your time comes to be with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who is one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not remove my faithful love from him as I removed it from the one who was before you. I will appoint him over my house and my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.’”
"Thy Kingdom will be done..."
O God, whose will is done without our prayer, we pray that it may be done also by us. To this end frustrate and bring to nothing every evil counsel and purpose – such as the will of the devil, the world, and our own flesh – which would hinder the hallowing of your name and prevent the coming of your kingdom. Strengthen and keep us steadfast in your Word and in faith even unto the end. Let this your good and gracious will be done. Amen.
