-Lord, sovereign God. Creator and Ruler, Mighty and Humble, Jealous and Forgiving...Savior. You are our God. Lord Jesus you have told us "that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father". Lord you alone are the giver of eternal life, and no one will snatch that gift away from us. The Father has given us to You and no one will take us from Your hands. Lord Your Word says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Words of Jesus. Furthermore you tell us that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. Lord you have given us Your Words of life, and Your Spirit as our main tools for sharing the gospel. It is not our words, NOT our eloquence, NOT our persuasiveness, NOT our charisma, that change peoples hearts, but YOU ALONE. You alone are God, and you alone are Savior. Salvation is Yours, and You have given it freely to us. Lord You have told us that YOU KNOW who you have chosen. From the beginning of time You know who's names have been written in the book of life, but we also see Lord that our prayers and requests can move your heart to save. Not Lord that we control you, but simply Lord that "we have not because we ask not". Great omnipotent God, my mind cannot understand this, but you Lord have told me that it is true. So in faith Father, I pray You rescue. I pray You bring us to life Lord. Lord apart from You we cannot do anything. It is in YOU ALONE that we place our trust for salvation. Lord I pray we will speak Your words, and by hearing Your words, faith will be awakened in others. Lord if there are doubts in their minds, I pray you remove them. If there is fear, I pray you love them, because perfect love casts out fear. Lord if there is shame in their lives, I pray you love them because love covers a multitude of sins. If there is cynicism I pray your truth would pierce to the marrow. In all things Lord, we give thanks. For You are God, and You have saved us.
Lord I thank you that you have given us compassion, give us wisdom.
Lord I thank you that we have motivation, give us proclamation
It is by Your hope that we will be the hope among the hopeless,
It is by your shalom that where there is conflict, we will be peace
only by the power of Your Spirit living in us.
Hosanna, God save!
It is through Jesus Christ's blood that we are healed, and that you hear us, Father. It is in HIS name we pray, and put ALL trust in.
Amen-
