Lord God, the All-Seeing, the All-Knowing, the One from Whom nothing is hidden, I come before You, humbled and burdened, yet trusting in Your unfailing mercy. You, O Lord, know my condition and my plight in this country: my obligations, my duties, and my debts. Father, You see my plight, You know where I am hurting, and You understand the heaviness of my burdens.
Eternal God, Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Who Provides, the Unfailing Source, the Keeper of time and seasons, the One whose storehouses never run empty, the God Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the One Who speaks and it is done, Who commands and it stands fast – I come before You, not in my own righteousness, not in my own strength, but in desperate need of Your mercy
Lord God Almighty, the Ancient of Days, the Eternal One, who was, who is, and who is to come, the heavens declare Your glory, and the earth trembles at the sound of Your voice. You, O Sovereign Lord, who set the foundations of the world in wisdom and stretched out the heavens by Your command

Lord God Almighty, the Stone of Israel, Mighty to save, gracious to bless, make me like Joseph a fruitful bough, with branches running over the wall; make me a fruitful branch of Christ, the Vine – so all that comes from me is reflective of Chris in me.
This week, we’re diving into one of the most challenging yet transformative aspects of our faith: Forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t just a nice idea; it’s a command from Jesus. In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asks Jesus, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus responds, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
Loving and Most Merciful Father, the all knowledgeable and all-powerful, Most Holy, Most Living, Lord the Healer, I present myself to You today Lord, with all its weakness in mind, soul and the body that carries it. Father Who art alone, our Helper and Stay,
Lord God, Judge Eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords and King of kings, have mercy on this nation, and pity its suffering masses – with the richness of the Word, bless this land; with Your living fire of judgment, purge it of sin, and bitter things; and by Your healing wings, and gracious love,
Almighty God, Who gave wisdom to Esther and Daniel, our Eternal Father, Gracious God, the only Wise One, I come before You today, as Solomon in his day, to pray that You grant me divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding so my living may be holier and guided by things divine.
