“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over for all her sins.”
- Isaiah 40:1-2

Gracious God, pour out comfort on Your people as You promised. Speak peace to weary hearts and rekindle hope where it has faded. You paid for our sin, won our battle, and secured our pardon - open our eyes to walk in the full assurance Jesus purchased.
