- 5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
- 6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; O Lord, humans and animals you save!
- 7 O God, how precious is your steadfast love! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
- 8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
- 9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
- 10 O continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your salvation to the upright of heart!
- Reading – [John 17:1-12 ESV]
- 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,
- 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
- 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
- 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.
- 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
- 6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
- 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.
- 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
- 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
- 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
- 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
- 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

- [Ephesians 6:10-18 ESV]
- 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
- 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
- 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
- 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
- 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
- 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
- 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
- 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
- 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
- [1 Timothy 2:1-8 ESV]
- 1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
- 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
- 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
- 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
- 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
- 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
- 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
