Stand firm, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all flaming missiles of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. – Ephesians 6:14-17

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." -- Hebrews 12:1-2
Today’s evening prayer comes from the cherished hymn, “How Great Thou Art”, originally penned by Carl Boberg. If you know the tune, sing it to yourself as you pray.
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

When I was a little girl, I remember watching my grandma’s finger trace over the worn page of a weathered hymnal. My eyes followed the lyrics as her tremulous voice sang out, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His marvelous face. And the things on Earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
Times change, but the song’s wisdom stands, echoing Hebrews 12: “Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor.” The only One worthy of worship and praise.
In a world full of brokenness and beauty, I pray my children and the people around me see me bowed in wonder and gratitude before One who holds all of it. Fixing our eyes upon Jesus, may we offer legacies of righteousness and peace that will last generations.
