Almighty God, You alone are Creator. You created all things and are continually involved in creation as to keep, care and direct all things. You alone plan each day and in your councils are all plans established. You are Sovereign. You are our God of providence. There is no other. We confess our hearts are often seeking to be in the place of God. We want to make our own plans, our own goals, our own assessments, and our own judgments. And throughout our lives we are reminded of our limited abilities, authority and influence. We are unable to order our own thoughts, desires, and feelings much less the world around us. And we confess that death is the most humbling reminder that this world is not dependent upon us and our agenda. Thank you, Lord, for generations will come and go but your Word will abide forever. Your promises will be established and your purposes accomplished. Lord, grant your grace this morning that we may see and trust your sure hope we have in Christ. As we see the great evil around us which is due to their planning and plotting, grant your Spirit to give us confident hope in Christ. In the midst of the guilt and fear of our own hearts, cause us to trust Christ. When our days draw to their end, cause us to find our rest in Christ. We ask these things in the name of our great Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen & Amen.
