SCRIPTURE: (NKJV unless noted)

Restore us, O God;cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! Psalm 80:3

And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.” Acts 1:7

I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. John 17:20-21

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
