      <title>Closing Prayers: Part 15</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There  is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because the law of  the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and  death.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 8:1-2)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who  have been called according to His purpose.&amp;nbsp;  (Romans 8:28)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If  God is for me, who can be against me?&amp;nbsp; He  who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He  not, also with Him, freely give us all things?&amp;nbsp;  (Romans 8:31-32)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who  shall separate me from the love of Christ?&amp;nbsp;  Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,  or danger, or sword?&amp;nbsp; As it is written:&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;For  Your sake we face death all day long; &lt;br&gt;We  are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Yet  in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 8:35-37)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor  things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor  anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God  that is in Christ Jesus my Lord.&amp;nbsp; (Romans  8:38-39)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We  will all stand before the judgment seat of God.&amp;nbsp;  For it is written, &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;As  I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me, &lt;br&gt;And  every tongue will confess to God.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;So  then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 14:10b-12)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May  the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant us to be of the same mind  toward one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord and one  mouth we may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 15:5-6)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  God of hope will fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in Him, so that I  may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 15:13)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now  to Him who is able to establish us by the gospel and the proclamation of Jesus  Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for  long ages past, but now is manifested, and through the Scriptures of the  prophets by the command of the eternal God, has been made known to all nations  for obedience to the faith&amp;mdash;to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the  glory forever.&amp;nbsp; Amen.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 16:25-27)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love  is patient, love is kind, it does not envy; love does not boast, it is not  arrogant, it does not behave rudely; it does not seek its own, it is not  provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness  but rejoices with the truth; it bears all things, believes all things, hopes  all things, endures all things.&amp;nbsp; Love  never fails.&amp;nbsp; (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Closing Prayers: Part 14</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You  are the light of the world.&amp;nbsp; He who  follows You will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.&amp;nbsp; (John 8:12) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  shall know the truth, and the truth shall set me free.&amp;nbsp; Everyone who commits sin is a slave of  sin.&amp;nbsp; And a slave has no permanent place  in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.&amp;nbsp;  So if the Son sets me free, I shall be free indeed.&amp;nbsp; (John 8:32, 34-36)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  are the door; whoever enters through You will be saved and will come in and go  out and find pasture.&amp;nbsp; The thief comes  only to steal and kill and destroy; You have come that we may have life and  have it abundantly.&amp;nbsp; (John 10:9-10) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your  sheep hear Your voice, and You know them, and they follow You.&amp;nbsp; You give them eternal life, and they shall  never perish; no one can snatch them out of Your hand.&amp;nbsp; The Father, who has given them to You, is  greater than all; no one can snatch them out of the Father's hand.&amp;nbsp; You and the Father are one. (John 10:27-30)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  are the resurrection and the life.&amp;nbsp; He  who believes in You will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and  believes in You will never die.&amp;nbsp; (John  11:25-26) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peace  You leave with me; Your peace You give to me.&amp;nbsp;  Not as the world gives, do You give to me.&amp;nbsp; I will not let my heart be troubled nor let  it be fearful.&amp;nbsp; (John 14:27)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This  is eternal life: that I may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom  You have sent.&amp;nbsp; (John 17:3)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing, I have life  in His name.&amp;nbsp; (John 20:31)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lord  Jesus, You are the stone which was rejected by the builders, but which has  become the chief cornerstone.&amp;nbsp; Salvation  is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men  by which we must be saved.&amp;nbsp; (Acts  4:11-12) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our  Lord.&amp;nbsp; (Romans 6:23)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Closing Prayers: Part 13</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Father  in heaven, &lt;br&gt;Hallowed  be Your name.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Your  kingdom come; &lt;br&gt;Your  will be done &lt;br&gt;On  earth as it is in heaven.&amp;nbsp; (Matthew  6:9-10) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lord,  You have said, &amp;quot;Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I  will give you rest.&amp;nbsp; Take My yoke upon  you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find  rest for your souls.&amp;nbsp; For My yoke is  easy, and My burden is light.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;  (Matthew 11:28-30) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If  anyone wishes to come after You, he must deny himself and take up his cross and  follow You.&amp;nbsp; For whoever wants to save  his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Your sake and the  gospel's will find it.&amp;nbsp; For what is a man  profited if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?&amp;nbsp; Or what will a man give in exchange for his  soul?&amp;nbsp; (Matthew 16:24-26; Mark 8:34-37;  Luke 9:23-25)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glory  to God in the highest, &lt;br&gt;And  on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.&amp;nbsp; (Luke 2:14)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  Word became flesh and dwelt among us.&amp;nbsp; We  have seen His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of  grace and truth.&amp;nbsp; (John 1:14)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  so loved the world that You gave Your only begotten Son, that whoever believes  in Him should not perish but have eternal life.&amp;nbsp;  For You did not send Your Son into the world to condemn the world, but  to save the world through Him.&amp;nbsp; (John  3:16-17) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.&amp;nbsp; You are the bread of life.&amp;nbsp; He who comes to You will never hunger, and he  who believes in You will never thirst.&amp;nbsp;  (John 6:33, 35)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lord  Jesus, all that the Father gives You will come to You, and whoever comes to You,  You will never cast out.&amp;nbsp; For You have  come down from heaven not to do Your own will, but the will of Him who sent  You.&amp;nbsp; And this is the will of Him who  sent You, that You will lose none of all that He has given You, but raise them  up at the last day.&amp;nbsp; For Your Father's  will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him may have eternal  life, and You will raise him up at the last day.&amp;nbsp; (John 6:37-40)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  are the living bread that came down from heaven.&amp;nbsp; If anyone eats of this bread, he will live  forever.&amp;nbsp; This bread is Your flesh, which  You have given for the life of the world.&amp;nbsp;  (John 6:51)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lord  Jesus, I have nowhere else to go; You have the words of eternal life.&amp;nbsp; I believe and know that You are the Holy One  of God.&amp;nbsp; (John 6:68-69)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Closing Prayers: Part 12</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There  is none like You, O Lord; &lt;br&gt;You  are great, and Your name is mighty in power.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Who  should not revere You, O King of the nations?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;It  is Your rightful due.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;For  among all the wise men of the nations &lt;br&gt;And  in all their kingdoms, &lt;br&gt;There  is no one like You.&amp;nbsp; (Jeremiah 10:6-7)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I  know the plans I have for you,&amp;quot; declares the Lord, &amp;quot;plans to prosper  you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; (Jeremiah 29:11) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ah,  Lord God!&amp;nbsp; You have made the heavens and  the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm.&amp;nbsp; Nothing is too difficult for You.&amp;nbsp; You are the great and mighty God, whose name  is the Lord of  hosts.&amp;nbsp; You are great in counsel and  mighty in deed, and Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men; You  reward everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.&amp;nbsp; (Jeremiah 32:17-19)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  call this to mind, &lt;br&gt;And  therefore I have hope:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;The  Lord's mercies never cease, &lt;br&gt;For  His compassions never fail.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;They  are new every morning; &lt;br&gt;Great  is Your faithfulness.&amp;nbsp; (Lamentations  3:21-23)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The  Lord is my portion,&amp;quot; says my soul, &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Therefore  I will wait for Him.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;The  Lord is good to those who wait for Him, &lt;br&gt;To  the soul who seeks Him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;It  is good to hope silently &lt;br&gt;For  the salvation of the Lord.&amp;nbsp; (Lamentations  3:24-26)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blessed  be the name of God for ever and ever, &lt;br&gt;For  wisdom and power belong to Him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  changes the times and the seasons; &lt;br&gt;He  raises up kings and deposes them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  gives wisdom to the wise &lt;br&gt;And  knowledge to those who have understanding.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  reveals deep and hidden things; &lt;br&gt;He  knows what is in the darkness, &lt;br&gt;And  light dwells with Him.&amp;nbsp; (Daniel 2:20-22) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  have shown me what is good; &lt;br&gt;And  what does the Lord require of me &lt;br&gt;But  to act justly and to love mercy &lt;br&gt;And  to walk humbly with my God?&amp;nbsp; (Micah 6:8)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, &lt;br&gt;As  the waters cover the sea.&amp;nbsp; (Habakkuk  2:14)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  Lord is in His  holy temple; &lt;br&gt;Let  all the earth be silent before Him.&amp;nbsp;  (Habakkuk 2:20)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Not  by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,&amp;quot; says the Lord of hosts.&amp;nbsp; (Zechariah 4:6)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Closing Prayers: Part 11</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The  name of the Lord is a strong tower; &lt;br&gt;The  righteous run to it and are safe.&amp;nbsp;  (Proverbs 18:10)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To  us a child is born, to us a son is given, &lt;br&gt;And  the government will be on His shoulders.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;And  he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, &lt;br&gt;Everlasting  Father, Prince of Peace.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Of  the increase of His government and peace &lt;br&gt;There  will be no end.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  will reign on the throne of David and over His kingdom, &lt;br&gt;Establishing  and upholding it with justice and righteousness &lt;br&gt;From  that time on and forever.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;The  zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 9:6-7)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  Lord of hosts  has sworn, &amp;quot;Surely, as I have thought, so it will be, and as I have  purposed, so it will stand.&amp;nbsp; For the Lord of hosts has  purposed, and who can annul it?&amp;nbsp; His hand  is stretched out, and who can turn it back?&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 14:24, 27)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Behold,  the Lord God will come with power, &lt;br&gt;And  His arm will rule for Him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Behold,  His reward is with Him, &lt;br&gt;And  His recompense accompanies Him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  will feed His flock like a shepherd; &lt;br&gt;He  will gather the lambs in His arms &lt;br&gt;And  carry them close to His heart; &lt;br&gt;He  will gently lead those that have young.&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 40:10-11)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God  gives strength to the weary &lt;br&gt;And  increases the power of the weak.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Even  youths grow tired and weary, &lt;br&gt;And  young men stumble and fall; &lt;br&gt;But  those who wait for the Lord &lt;br&gt;Will  renew their strength; &lt;br&gt;They  will mount up with wings like eagles; &lt;br&gt;They  will run and not grow weary; &lt;br&gt;They  will walk and not be faint.&amp;nbsp; (Isaiah  40:29-31)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  will not fear, for You are with me; &lt;br&gt;I  will not be dismayed, for You are my God.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;You  will strengthen me and help me; &lt;br&gt;You  will uphold me with Your righteous right hand.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;For  You are the Lord my God, who takes hold of my right hand &lt;br&gt;And  says to me, &amp;quot;Do not fear; I will help you.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; (Isaiah 41:10, 13) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  Lord who created the heavens, He is God.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  fashioned and made the earth and established it; &lt;br&gt;He  did not create it to be empty &lt;br&gt;But  formed it to be inhabited.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;He  is the Lord, and there is no other.&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 45:18)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You  have sworn by Yourself; &lt;br&gt;The  word has gone out of Your mouth in righteousness &lt;br&gt;And  will not return.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Every  knee will bow before You, &lt;br&gt;And  every tongue will acknowledge You.&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 45:23)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus  says the Lord, my Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;I  am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, &lt;br&gt;Who  leads you in the way you should go.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;  (Isaiah 48:17)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus  says the Lord: &amp;quot;Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the  strong man boast of his strength, and let not the rich man boast of his riches;  but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that  I am the Lord, who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on  earth; for in these I delight,&amp;quot; declares the Lord.&amp;nbsp; (Jeremiah 9:23-24)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
