Christ –
Hope comes to us in Your word of the truth, the gospel.
As this hope bears fruit and grows in the whole world, may it bear fruit and grow among us.
As we hear and comprehend Your grace, may the knowledge of Your will fill us.
As we receive all spiritual understanding, may we lead lives worthy of You – bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of the Divine.
As Your glorious power’s strength makes us strong, may we be prepared to endure everything with patience.
With joyful thanks, we praise You for enabling us to share in the saints’ inheritance, for rescuing us from darkness’ power, and for transferring us into Your kingdom.
In the name of the One in whom we have redemption, we pray.
Amen.
