"..sift you as wheat.. but i have prayed.."

"Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, listen!

 Satan has demanded to have you

 to sift you as wheat.

 But I have prayed for you 

that your faith may not fail.

 And when you have repented,

 strengthen your brothers.” 

Luke 22:31-32 (MEV)

"the hope ...ends of the earth.. farthest seas"

"You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior,

 the hope of all the ends of the earth

 and of the farthest seas,"

(Psalm 65:5 NIV)
