Isaiah 41:25-29

Heavenly Father
give us grace to see the worthlessness of what we put in place of you today 

²⁵ “I have raised up one from the north [Cyrus], one who calls on my name,
    and he shall come on rulers [the Babylonians] as the potter treads clay.
²⁹ Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing.
    Their molten images are wind and confusion.
