Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. Isaiah 45:22-23
God of our Salvation, we exult in being among your chosen ones, believers by our faith in our eternal redemption and in your divine providence and dispensation of grace to those who acknowledge you as the only true God. Lord, in absolute humility we recognize our helplessness without the power of your assistance. We rely on your holy word to grow in faith and trust and invoke your Holy Spirit to direct us onto the path of salvation, and into your presence.
Lord, with your assurance we move forward confidently in life and we praise and worship you for your favor and your faithfulness, for your love and your forgiveness, for your justice and your truth, for by sending your beloved Son as our Messiah, we have been saved from the clutches of sin and the dark desolation of death. For Jesus has defeated death and sin, giving us victory over the evil one and we are no more enslaved but are children of our God, by the atonement for our sins by our Savior.
The integrity of your word, promises and gospel, the permanence of your covenant with us will not remain or return to you void of its purpose, but will be spread and fulfilled. For you have healed us of our perversions, uplifted us from the dark dungeons of perdition and prepared a place for us in your presence. You and you alone are worthy of the highest praise and glory, because there is no other name by which we are restored and delivered and we pray that all the earth will, in unison, prostrate before you in worship and obedience, in Jesus” Name. Amen
