We pray with gratitude to you, Lord, for you came to rescue us, you came to set us free—presently and eternally. Free from earthly pains that cripple us, earthly chains that confine us, earthly limitations that tether us—Lord, let gravity’s pull that binds us to this lost world finally be broken. We pray for lightness, for release, for freedom, for eternal homecoming. For your “glorious and inexpressible joy.” Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. IV
