Take a quiet time to surface your thoughts and concerns. Listen to a recording of the song “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth” from Handel’s Messiah or to Jessie Norman and Kathleen Battle’s recording of spirituals such as “I Looked Over Jordan.” Then make your petitions and respond to each with the words of Job 19.25, 27:
ALL: I know that my redeemer lives, whom I will see with my own eyes.
