The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. Psalm 28:7
God All-powerful and Ever-living, we sing with exultant hearts our melody of praise to you, acknowledging that you are the God of faithfulness, and we rest assured, with complete trust and surrender within the security of your All-encompassing Being. The entire creation obeys and observes your Holy Will and nothing happens in this world unless ordained by or accomplished by you, through the Power of your Holy Spirit.
On the weakest you perfect your power and bestow strength to the feeble. You attest your Might and Righteousness to all who seek you with a pure, sincere heart, shielding them from harm and bestowing upon them great fortitude and resilience of mind and body and restoration of the spirit, by the sure promise that their eternal redemption is guaranteed.
Lord, with the magnifying power of your grace manifested in your Son Jesus Christ, your Anointed One, continue to lead your Church and people and protect and defend us from the ruler of apostasy and damnation. In Jesus, our Good Shepherd’s Name we pray. Amen
