But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
Sovereign Majesty, God and Ruler over all creation, since the beginning of time you have been our Provider, our Refuge, our Shelter, Defender, Protector and Redeemer. Your covenant with the human race, is from everlasting to everlasting and all that we possess and will ever possess, comes from you. Father, we have sinned greatly against you, but being a God of Righteousness, you have exhibited and manifested your steadfastness and faithfulness which prevails forever, through which we are saved, when we turn to you with fervent hearts and complete trust.
Your unchanging promises reflects your perfect attributes, for whatever we do in our arrogant and sinful nature makes your incomprehensible compassion more evident, proving that you will never abandon us, and will rescue all who are lost. Jesus has revealed to us the honor and glory of his Father, and we have the assurance that you will never leave us orphans, but have, through your plan of Redemption and Eternal Salvation, obediently fulfilled by Jesus your Son, made us citizens and co-heirs of heaven.
By our deep faith, our belief, our resolve to focus on you and to obediently follow your Divine Providence for us, we concentrate on studying the right path to heaven, and promote your kingdom in the world, to bring hearts into subjection to your Will. We seek only your Holy Grace and hope to bring others to the obedience of faith, for we need not worry about the things of this world. You have bestowed upon us all that we need and our only hope is in beholding you face to face, and be added to the ranks of the elite of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
