Exodus 15: 2-3<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As the Scriptures declare, Christ will reign forever and remain\u00a0 <\/span>victorious for all eternity. We must be prepared to face the ups and\u00a0 downs of life, walking each step in the name of Yahweh, trusting in\u00a0 His incredible strength to guide us daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He gave His body and shed His last drop of blood on the cross,\u00a0 where He bore the weight of all our sins. On the third day, He rose\u00a0 again, victorious over death, and ascended into Heaven. Now, He\u00a0 reigns over Heaven and Earth, seated at the right hand of God the\u00a0 Father, ever watching over us and desiring that we live as His joyful\u00a0 and blessed children on Earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us rejoice in all that we have and all that is yet to come, leaving\u00a0 behind the past\u2014for it was already redeemed when the Lamb of\u00a0 God was crucified. Our stress, desperation, and burdens were all\u00a0 nailed to the cross at Calvary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No longer shall loss or sorrow have power over us. Together, let us\u00a0 declare with confidence:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lion of Judah has risen!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CLOSING PRAYER\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Messiah, my Father in Heaven,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hear me when I am alone and desperate. When I cry out to You\u00a0 with no hope around me, remind me that I will never be defeated\u2014 for my failures were already taken to the cross when Christ was\u00a0 crucified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I stand before You, longing to witness the joy of my life, as You\u00a0 sit at the right hand of God the Father, forgiving and forgetting my\u00a0 sins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You alone are my strength and my song, and I will praise You\u00a0 <\/span>forever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
