The LORD preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
Gracious God and Heavenly Father,
You are our sovereign and eternal King. We praise you and exalt you. Great civilizations rise and fall, but your kingdom is forever. You rule not only us here but all your creation, he whole universe, the heavens as well as the earth! You are true and unchanging, wise, kind, great and good.
You loved us and made us your people. You are true to your covenant and have preserved a remnant for yourself. Your kingdom is spreading to every corner of the world. We thank you for your grace and forgiveness through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
Thank you for sending the Comforter in his place to be with us and strengthen us and guide us. Thank you for giving us faith. We pray that you would open the eyes of our loved ones and bring them to salvation also.
You are the one who brings true and lasting joy and peace. You fulfil the desires of the faithful. You bless us in so many ways and assure us of your love in times of trouble. You are always with us. You answer our prayers and calm our hearts. Thank you for your steadfast love and mercy, LORD. We do not deserve it, but are so thankful that Jesus has taken away our sin and clothed us in robes of his righteousness. O the marvellous grace of our Living Lord! You are all righteousness and compassion! May we be bold to proclaim your goodness and mercy, and worship you in holiness all the days of our lives! Your name be praised today and forever!
In Christ’s name. AMEN
