We express our gratitude, Father, for your ability to speak and bring about action. We acknowledge that your intention to save a people for yourself was driven by a desire to showcase your immense love, especially when we fell into sin. As a result, we are constantly reminded to prioritize your love above our own desires. When we face challenges, they serve as a reminder of our yearning for an everlasting love that points us towards eternity. It is important for us to recognize that these trials strip away the attachment to things that hold no value in comparison to your greatness. Failing to do so would leave us feeling hopeless, as you have prepared blessings beyond our imagination in this temporary life. Oh Father, the revelation of your salvation compels us to seek your presence, as you have offered redemption while we have only brought our sins. The stark contrast between our hatred and your love for us is evident, and we long to be revived in such a way that we can praise and exalt you ceaselessly. Our deepest desires can only find true contentment in resting in your unparalleled love.Please bestow upon us respite from our adversaries and the genuine dangers that arise from our circumstances and the cities in which we reside. We are aware that the blameless and defenseless cry out in pain due to the burdens imposed upon them by those who have enacted laws to oppress the vulnerable. Knowing that you come to the aid of your people and are attentive to their cries, we approach you as individuals who have no righteous claim, relying solely on your mercy. We recognize that only you have the power to restore peace in our cities, as your righteousness is accessible to all who come before you with nothing but their sins. Grant us relief from our own efforts so that we may faithfully follow your commands with your guiding strength. Lord, shield us from intentional transgressions, for we find utmost satisfaction when we praise you throughout the day. Your springs of life and truth emanate from your throne, and in your light, we find illumination. We delight in sitting at your table and feasting on the revealed word, which enlightens our understanding and enables us to walk in the footsteps of Christ, just as your disciples did on the road. Their hearts were filled with fervor. May our words to the congregation spring from hearts ablaze with passion. May this arise not from a lack of experiencing human attacks, but from finding rest in the living God alone. Father, we yearn to be immersed in your boundless love. We acknowledge that when we receive rewards, it will be solely due to your extension of grace and mercy, stemming from your immeasurable love, as we are incapable of presenting ourselves as righteous. The knowledge of dwelling in eternal communion with you melts our hearts.
