Let us count on Your sympathy in our sufferings, assured by Your Word that You know how we feel and will help us when we hurtHeb.2:9. Make us now and forever remain faithful, for You our Lord are always faithfulHeb.3:14, 15. Help us to enter Your rest through faith, understanding that God’s special blessing is eternal rest in Jesus Heb.4:11, 12. Please let us grow in spiritual maturity through Your mediation, seeing that Jesus Christ is the perfect High Priest for believersHeb.5:13, 14. Forbid that we should slip back into doubt, but rather, lay hold of hope in Christ our LordHeb.6; 11, 12. We rejoice in our great High Priest, Jesus Christ, who gives us confidence and stabilityHeb.7:25. Oh Lord, it is in You that we find peace, joy and hope. You have provided in the new covenant what the old covenant could only picture Heb.9:14. Help us to encourage others while we are being encouraged in the face of pressure.
