Closing Prayer
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

God gives strength to the weary
And increases the power of the weak.

And young men stumble and fall;

Will renew their strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary;
They will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:29–31)
