INTERCESSION
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear t >t; Behold, your God with a recompense; He will come and save you. (Isaiah xxxv, 3-4). Eternal God, grant us courage and faith that we may live this day with Thee. May we do the duty that lies nearest, bearing ourselves like men. Let not the uncertainties of tomorrow paralyse us to-day. Inspired by the heroes of yesterday, make us heroic in our turn. Then, O God. with strong confidence, we commit the unknown future to Thy keeping, believe that Thou wilt vindicate the righteous and bring to nought the powers of evil.
