Daniel 6 &7; Luke 12; Daniel 10, 11, &12

Father, you are the Living God. You are steadfast forever. Your kingdom cannot be destroyed, and your dominion endures to the end.

You deliver and rescue those who are yours. You work signs and wonders. You delivered Daniel from the mouth of the lions, and you deliver me in every situation.

Father, your scripture tells me that many earthly kingdoms will rise and fall and be replaced by other kingdoms that will rise and fall. The saints of you, the Most High God, will receive and possess your kingdom forever, even forever and ever. It is your pleasure to give me that kingdom.

I must understand and live accordingly. You call me beloved, by your grace and not by my merit, and you tell me not to fear. You fill me with your peace and your strength. I know you and that makes me strong, and I am used by you to carry out great exploits.

Michael, your great angel, watches over me even in these times of great trouble, and I am delivered. I awake to everlasting life, and by your grace, through Christ, I shine like the brightness of the firmament, and you use me, Lord, to turn others to righteousness.

So, I go with you till you call me home. Then I rest till you raise me up to the inheritance that you have set for me.
