Righteous Judge, who abides in heaven above, increase our trust in you, that we would not be troubled by the challenges and losses that this world inflicts upon us but trust that you keep safe for us a treasure in heaven, through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher, and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard the deposit I have entrusted to him.’ – 2 Tim. 1:11-12
