The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the just run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10
O God of Righteousness, Faithfulness and everlasting promises, you are the great ‘I AM’. The God who was, is and ever will be, Immortal and Eternal, a Rock, Refuge, Stronghold, Sanctuary, the Alpha and the Omega. You are a perfect, absolute God. You spurn evil and wrongdoings, casting the people who indulge in such, away from your perfect holiness. You reveal yourself to us, in all the works of your hands and we praise and worship your Mighty Name, which by its magnificent attributes exceeds and is above every other name.
Lord, we are deeply humbled and repentant for the heinous crimes and offenses we have committed as fickle human beings, sinful, right from our mother’s womb, wanting, in wisdom and understanding, and easy prey for the evil snares of the enemy. But in your infinite love and unceasing mercy, you sent Jesus, as a sacrificial lamb, to save us, wash away our sins and renew the face of the earth. Our Messiah has revealed you, our Father, in his works, and especially in his word, by his promises, and the declarations of his infinite perfections, and goodwill to his people.
Lord, you are so gracious in your love and kindnesses to your people, that you opened the gates of heaven to those, who, by faith and works of perseverance and by obedience to your commands and your Holy Word, worked out their salvation which is already obtained for those in faith to receive, and achieved righteousness, which will restore us to you and your Heavenly Kingdom. Assist us Lord, to obtain holiness and perfection to be among the just and deserve complete safety afforded to all, who come to you in Jesus’ Name. Amen
