Let me ask you: what do you believe is the ground of our confidence that all that God has promised to us will in fact come about–on what grounds, what basis, do we believe that we will reap the life promised to us through faith in Jesus Christ? The answer is the veracious and truthful character of the living God who has spoken the truth to his people. Our God is a God of truth, and because of that we hold onto the promise of God, knowing full well that what he promised, he will do. This and this alone is our ground of confidence. After reciting and/or singing the Nicene Creed (located in the Appendix), pray the following prayer: Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ~ Episcopal Church. The Book of Common Prayer and Administrations of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church, Together with the Psalter or Psalms of David . New York: The Church Hymnal Corporation, 1979. p. 236
