Thank you.
Lord, you will grant us peace (Isaiah 26:12).
Thank you.
The Lord will remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth. He will swallow up death forever (Isaiah 25:7-8).

The Lord of hosts will be . . . strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate (Isaiah 28:5-6).
Pray for the strength that only God can give.
The Lord of Heaven’s armies . . . will give great courage to their warriors who stand at the gates (Isaiah 28:5-6 NLT).

There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor, wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city (Ecclesiastes 9:14-15).
Wisdom is better than might.
May we so love those for whom we pray,
that we feel their needs as acutely as our own,
and intercede for them with sensitivity, understanding, and imagination.*
