Opening Prayer

Gracious and Faithful Lord,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and awe, recognizing Your unchanging faithfulness that anchors our souls. Your faithfulness, Lord, is a steadfast beacon guiding us through the uncertainties of life, a rock we lean on in times of trouble, and a constant presence that never fails.

As we embark on this journey of learning and growing, we fix our eyes on Your Word, where it is written: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23) Your faithfulness, O Lord, is indeed great and unending.

May this truth sink deep into our hearts as we seek to know You more. Grant us wisdom to understand Your ways, strength to walk in Your paths, and humility to surrender to Your perfect will. Teach us, Lord, through Your Spirit, that we may grow in faithfulness ourselves—faithful in our love for You, faithful in our relationships, and faithful in our service to others.

In moments of doubt, remind us of Your faithfulness. In times of trial, uphold us with Your steadfast love. And in seasons of joy, may we rejoice in Your faithfulness that sustains us.

All glory and honor belong to You, our Faithful God, now and forevermore. Amen.
