Revelation 5:2-4 (NLT)

2 And I saw a strong angel, who shouted with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
4 Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it.

Forgive us for caring more about the opinion of others than of yours, move our hearts to be fully devoted to you in absolute trust & forgive us for our sin, oh God: idolatry, people pleasing, and slave to fear.

providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.

Psalm 128:1-4 (NLT)

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1 How joyful are those who fear the Lord—
all who follow his ways!
2 You will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
How joyful and prosperous you will be!
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine,
flourishing within your home.
Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees
as they sit around your table.
4 That is the Lord’s blessing
for those who fear him.
