Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the promise of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah and the Root of David. We praise You for His descent from the tribe of Judah, and for the fact that, through Him, we can have a relationship with You.
Help us to remember the truth of Your Word, and to stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ. Give us the courage to bear fruit from the stump of Jesse, and to share the love of Jesus with others.
We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
