Revelation Chapter 6 – The First Six Seals. John writes in Revelation 21:.
E N D
John writes in Revelation 21: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'See, the home of God is now among the people. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the old order of things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, 'See, I am making all things new.' 'Amen, make all things new!'
We pray for those who are experiencing the consequences of death, the bereaved and those who are mourning. We hope in the promise that death and mourning will be no more. We mention in our hearts those we know who are affected by death and mourning. Pause Lord you said, 'See, I am making all things new.' 'Amen, make all things new!'
We pray for those who are crying; the sad, the depressed and the anxious. We hope in the promise that God will wipe every tear from our eyes. We mention in our hearts those we know who are sad and who know tears. Pause Lord you said, 'See, I am making all things new.' 'Amen, make all things new!'
Lord, your words are trustworthy and true. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. We pray all this in the powerful and hopeful name of Jesus Christ, Amen 'Amen, make all things new!'
