Night Prayer 

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

We surrender our lives to the Lord because we have faith in His love for us. We praise Him for His goodness on our good days and cry out to Him during trials. God has never left our side and continues to reach His hand out to hold and guide us through each obstacle. Even when life is not going the way we planned, we will sing praises to His name from the mountain tops because He is our ultimate refuge.

Prayer
