  • Praying to Overcome Abandonment

    Father, I have confessed Jesus as my Lord and believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:10).  Your Word says that if I belong to Jesus Christ, I too can be an heir of His promises (Galatians 3:29). So, I come to You and pray these promises.

    In our darkness, He will lead us forward. God will never abandon us.

    Now I am Your child.  I know that even if my father and mother forsake me, You, O Lord receive me with open arms (Psalm 27:10). When other people leave me and I feel unloved, I am thankful that You will never, ever leave me alone nor reject me (Hebrews 13:5).  Jesus gave His life for me and called me His friend (John 15:14).  He lives in my heart and I am on my way to heaven.  That is plenty to be thankful for (Colossians 3:15). 

    O God, help me always to be thankful that I am loved by You, because from the beginning You chose me to be saved, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth and in Your Son (2 Thessalonians 2:13). May Your unfailing love be my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant (Psalm 119:76).

    Father God, I thank You that I have been given a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind (2 Timothy 1:7). I ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the resentment I feel towards those who abandoned me (Ephesians 3:16).

    Lord Jesus, You have come into the world as a Light, so that no one who believes in You should stay in darkness (John 12:46). I believe in You and — with Your guiding hand and Your strength — I am abandoning the darkness that surrounds me. Those who know Your name trust in You because You have not abandoned those who seek You, Lord God (Psalm 9:9-10). Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You, O Lord, preserve my life. Your Love, O Lord, endures forever — You will not abandon the work of Your hands (Psalm 138:7-8).

    Heavenly Father, You have assigned angels who will accompany, defend, and preserve me in all my ways of obedience and service (Psalm 91:1).  I am not alone.  Your Word says there is nothing that can separate me from the love of Christ – not pain nor stress, nor persecution (Romans 8:39).  You are concerned with the smallest detail that concerns me (1 Peter 5:7), and You are my help (Psalm 46:1).  I ask You for friends who will admonish and encourage me.  Teach me how to trust others and be a friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24).  Teach me to walk in Your love and show myself to be Your disciple.

    The Lord will cover me with His feathers. He will shelter me with His wings. His faithful promises are my armor and protection. His truth and faithfulness are my shield and buckler (Psalm 91:4). Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? I choose to put my hope in my God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:5-6). When my soul is downcast within me, I will remember Your kindnesses, O gracious Lord.

  • Prayer When Depressed

    Father, as Your child, I boldly come before Your throne of grace that I may receive mercy and find grace to help in my time of need (Hebrews 4:16).  Father, I know Your ears are open to my prayers (1 John 5:14). I ask that You listen to my prayer now, O God, and hide not Your face from my supplication.  I ask You to attend to me and answer me for I am restless and distraught (Psalm 55:1-2). 

    God’s Word gives life! Trust Him!

    I confess the depression I am experiencing to You, O mighty God.  In doing so I also express my desire to forsake it and to put it behind me forever.  Thank You for lifting me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire my mind had put me into, and setting my feet upon the solid rock of confidence Your Word gives (Psalm 40:2).  Please guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long (Psalm 25:5). With Your Spirit to guide me, I will not give into depression any longer.  Instead, I will wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5).

    I love You, O Lord, my Strength (Psalm 18:1).  There is never a reason for me to mourn or to be depressed.  Instead, I will go to You because You are my exceeding joy (Psalm 43:4).  My hope is in You (Psalm 39:7), for You have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth (Psalm 71:5).

    I am calling upon You, my Mighty God, to rescue me (Psalm 55:16).  You ransomed me unharmed from the battle of depression waged against me (Psalm 55:18).  I cast my burden on You, O Lord, releasing the weight of it and You sustain me; for You will never allow the consistently righteous to fall (Psalm 55:22).  Hopelessness lies in wait for me to swallow me up or trample me all day long (Psalm 56:2).  When I am afraid, I will trust in You.  In You, O God, whose Word I praise, in You I confidently put my trust.  I will not fear (Psalm 56:3-4).

    You know my every sleepless night, each tear and heartache is answered with Your promise.  I am thanking You with all my heart!  You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff of doom.  Now I stroll at leisure with You in the sunlit fields of life (Psalm 56:5, 8, 13 MSG).  What would have become of me, Lord, had I not believed I would see Your goodness in the land of the living?  I will wait for You; I will be brave and of good courage and let my heart be stout and enduring.  Yes, I wait for You! (Psalm 27:13-14)

  • Praying for Guidance

    Lord God, Your Word tells me to trust in You with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways I aim to acknowledge You, then You will make my paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). You tell us that the mind of man can plan a course, but You direct his steps (Proverbs 16:9). O loving Lord, please direct my steps and lead me down the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3)

    God our Father promises to be a light to our path.

    Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105).  You are my lamp, O Lord; You turn my darkness into light (2 Samuel 22:29). Lord, You have brought light to my life. My God, You light up my darkness (Psalm 18:28). Please help me to understand that, because I am Yours, Light is shining in my darkness whether or not I can behold it or understand it.

    Your Word says: I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you for your benefit and profit, who leads you in the way you should go (Isaiah 48:17). For the sake of Your name, O Lord, lead me and guide me (Psalm 31:3). O Lord, please guide me continually, satisfy my soul in this parched land, and make fat my bones (strengthen my frame); and I shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring whose waters never run dry (Isaiah 58:11).

    You stated that in Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling (Exodus 15:13). You have compassion for us, and so will guide us and lead us beside springs of water (Isaiah 49:10).

    You have given me the Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth (John 16:13).  Thank You for His guiding presence in my life. So, send forth Your light and Your truth, O Lord. Let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell (Psalm 43:3).

    Give Your servant an understanding heart that I may always be able to discern between good and evil (1 Kings 3:9). So that I may be able to discern what is best, that I may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ’s return (Philippians 1:10).

    Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that the Holy Spirit clearly says in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons (1 Timothy 4:1). As the time of Your return approaches, there will be increasing deception and literally twisted doctrines taught by angels of darkness. Please develop a higher level of discernment in me, my Lord. Teach me to know truth so well that I will quickly recognize the most finely crafted lie. Help me never to abandon the faith to follow a lie.

  • Praying for Abundance

    My God, You are the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  I recognize You to be the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17).  I rejoice in the realization that You want me to enjoy Your abundant life in the here-and-now, that Jesus came to show me this abundant life You have to offer us (John 10:10). I will celebrate Your abundant goodness, O God, and joyfully sing of Your righteousness (Psalm 145:7).

    God promises abundance if we will but trust Him and follow His ways.

    Heavenly Father, Jesus came down to earth to teach me, to guide me, to be my Shepherd (John 10:11).  With Him as my Shepherd I have no more want (Psalm 23:1), because You crown the bounteous year with Your goodness and Your paths drip with abundance (Psalm 65:11). My gracious God, You declare that You will satisfy Your people with abundance and we will be filled with Your bounty (Jeremiah 31:14); that a faithful man will abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20). Therefore, may all blessings come upon me and overtake me because I strive to obey the voice of the Lord my God (Deuteronomy 28:2).

    Thank You for all Your unsearchable riches that You invite us to share and enjoy (Proverbs 8:18).  I will serve You obediently, for then my days will end in prosperity and my years in happiness (Job 36:11). 

    I receive Your abundance, Father, as I claim Your promises for my own.  Thank You for giving me fullness (John 1:16) and abundance in every area of my life; that all I need to do is ask of You (Matthew 7:11). I will not fear for You have given me all that is in Your Kingdom (Luke 12:32).  Thank You for blessing me so abundantly.

    Because of Your protective care of me (1 Peter 5:7), O Lord, and Your gracious supply of all my needs (Philippians 4:19), I know I will live in a good land and lack nothing (Deuteronomy 8:9).  You are immeasurably great (1 Chronicles 29:11), and You are greatly to be praised (Psalm 48:1).  It is good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. To declare Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night (Psalm 92:1-2).

    So, I praise You! I exalt Your name! Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You, O Lord my Redeemer. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods, and with singing lips my mouth will praise You (Psalm 63:3-5).

  • A Prayer to Speak Truth

    I have chosen the way of Truth; I have set my heart on Your laws (Psalm 119:30). Blessed are they who do not doubt the Lord (Matthew 11:6).

    To some, God’s Word is prickly. But to those who see its beauty, it is a faithful companion.

    Father, I commit myself to walk in Your Word.  Your Word living in me produces Your life in this world.  I recognize that Your Word is integrity itself – steadfast, sure, eternal (Psalm 119:89). The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), and I trust my life to its provisions.  They are not just idle words for me. They are my life! By them I will live in the land (Deuteronomy 32:47).

    You have sent Your Word forth into my heart.  I will let it dwell in me richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).  I have been born anew of incorruptible seed, that is – the living and enduring Word of God (1 Peter 1:23).  Through Your great and precious promises, I can share in the Your divine nature and escape corruption from sinful desires (2 Peter 1:4). 

    I choose to agree with Your Word, O Lord, and I choose to disagree with any thoughts, conditions, or circumstances contrary to Your Word. Jesus, In Your name and with Your strength and wisdom, I will learn to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God.

    Your Word of truth is my counsel, my shield, my buckler (Psalm 91:4), and my powerful weapon in battle (Ephesians 6:17).  Please direct my footsteps according to Your Word (Psalm 119:133), that I may go on my way in safety, for I trust in Your Word (Psalm 119:42).

    Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You, the lifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2).  He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving honors and glorifies You; and he who orders his way aright, to him You will demonstrate the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23).  Therefore, set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3).  My mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all day long (Psalm 71:8).  Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You, so will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name (Psalm 63:3-4). 

    I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5). Lord God, put Your words into my mouth and cover me in the shadow of Your hand (Isaiah 51:16). Heavenly Father, please give me the tongue of the learned that I may know how to speak a word of truth in season to him who is weary (Isaiah 50:4).

  • Praying to Walk in God’s Word

    Your Word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens (Psalm 119:89).  All Your Words are pure, O God (Proverbs 30:5).  Your way is perfect, and Your Word is tried and true – flawless (Psalm 18:30).  By Your Word, You made the heavens and all the starry host, O God of the Universe (Psalm 33:6). 

    God’s Word is there to lead us along the correct path for our situation.

    Lord God, I bless You because You have given me rest according to all that You have promised to me; not one Word of all Your good promises has ever failed (1 Kings 8:56).  In light of this truth, I desire to walk in Your Word at all times. 

    I love Your Word, Father; it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).  When I go, Your Word will lead me. When I sleep, Your Word will keep me.  When I awaken, Your Word will speak to me.  Your Word is truly a lamp and a light for me (Proverbs 6:22-23).

    Long ago I learned from Your statutes that You established Your words to last forever (Psalm 119:152). All Your words are true; all Your righteous laws are eternal (Psalm 119:160). Your Word is truth (John 17:17). Give me understanding according to Your Word (Psalm 119:169).

    Your Word has revived me and given me life (Psalm 119:50).  Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors (Psalm 119:24).  I will worship toward Your Holy Temple and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and for Your truth and faithfulness.  For You have exalted above all else Your name and Your Word, and You have magnified Your Word above even Your Name (Psalm 138:2). 

    All the promises that You have made are “yes” in Christ Jesus. And so, in Him the “amen” is spoken by us unto Your glory, O God (2 Corinthians 1:20).  Your Word is quick, alive, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.  It pierces even to the dividing asunder of my soul and spirit, and of my joints and marrow; and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of my heart (Hebrews 4:12). 

    Heavenly Father, I want to live by every word that comes from Your mouth (Matthew 4:4).  I hide Your Word in my heart that I may not sin against You (Psalm 119:11). Strengthen me according to Your Word (Psalm 119:28). Give me understanding, and I will keep Your Word and obey it with all my heart (Psalm 119:34). Father, I rise to give You thanks for Your righteous Word (Psalm 119:62), and I will endeavor to walk in the light of Your Word all the days of my life (Psalm 119:112).

    I know Your Word will never return to You without it having its desired effect (Isaiah 55:11).  Thank You for Your Word, Father, and teach me to keep on walking in Your Word.

    O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His Name together (Psalm 34:3). 

  • A Prayer of Praise

    Lord God, I praise You and adore You (Psalm 69:30).  You alone are worthy of praise, for You are the Creator of all things (John 1:3).  In You all things hold together and have meaning (Colossians 1:17).  Thank You, Lord, for who You are.

    I will praise the Lord my Maker with all that is within me.

    Father God, how great is the love You have bestowed on me that I should be called a child of Yours. And that is what I am (1 John 3:1).  Father, You say that You rejoice over me with joy (Zephaniah 3:17), that spirit of rejoicing, joy and laughter is my heritage. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty — emancipation from bondage, freedom. With Your grace I will walk in that liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). I trust in You to fill my heart with joy and with the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:52).

    Father, by Your grace, I join with the heavenly hosts making a joyful noise to You and serving You with gladness.  I come before Your presence with joyful singing.  Lord, I know that You are God.  It is You who made me; I am Your people and the sheep of Your pasture.  I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving.  I enter into Your courts with praise.  I bless and affectionately praise Your name.  For You are God and Your mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting.  Your faithfulness and truth endure to all generations (Psalm 100:2-5). 

    It is such a good thing to give thanks unto You, O Lord, and to sing praises unto Your name, O Most High.  I want always to show forth Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night (Psalm 92:1-2).  Because of who You are and all You have done for me, I am able to offer the sacrifice of praise to You continually, and it is my desire to do so.  It pleases me, O Lord, to be able to give You the fruit of my lips, even praise to Your name (Hebrews 13:15).  Thank You, gracious God, for everything.

    I will sing unto You; I will sing praises to You because You are my Lord God (Judges 5:3).  I praise You, Lord, according to Your righteousness; I will sing praises to Your name, O Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17).  Through Your grace I will praise Your name forever.  When I offer praises to You, dear Lord, I know I am glorifying You (Psalm 50:23).  May my mouth be filled with Your praise and honor all day long (Psalm 71:8).  I will sing of Your mercies forever.  With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 89:1). 

    I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart. I will glorify Your name forever (Psalm 86:12). I will praise Your name in song and glorify You with thanksgiving (Psalm 69:30). I will celebrate Your abundant goodness, O God, and joyfully sing of Your righteousness (Psalm 145:7). For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done. I will sing for joy at the work of Your hands (Psalm 92:4).

    Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You, O Lord my Redeemer. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods, and with singing lips my mouth will praise You. (Psalm 63:3-5)

    You, Father, faithful Lord, are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. You, my loving Lord, are good to all; You have compassion on all You have made. All You have made will praise You, O Lord; Your saints will extol You. (Psalm 145:8-10)

  • Give Thanks To the Lord

    Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon Me in the day of trouble.  I will deliver you and you will honor Me…  He who sacrifices thank offerings honors Me and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God. (Psalm 50:14-15, 23). 

    [David] consulted with the people and appointed some to sing for the Lord and some to praise the splendor of His holiness.  When they went out in front of the armed forces, they kept singing: “Give thanks to the Lord, for His faithful love endures forever” (2 Chronicles 20:21).

    The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice (2 Chronicles 5:13). They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise in the evening (1 Chronicles 23:30). Let us do the same.

    Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song (Psalm 95:2).  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4).  Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done (Psalm 105:1). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for His is good; His faithful love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).  Give thanks to the Lord; call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples (1 Chronicles 16:8).  And say: “Save us, God of our salvation; gather us and rescue us from the nations so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and rejoice in Your praise (1 Chronicles 16:35). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever.  Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise (Psalm 106:1, 47). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good… Give thanks to the God of gods… Give thanks to the Lord of lords… Give thanks to the God of heaven.  His love endures forever (Psalm 136:1-3, 26). Give thanks to the Lord of Armies because the Lord is good, because His mercy endures forever. (Jeremiah 33:11) 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever (Psalm 107:1). Let [all] give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men (Psalm 107:8, 31).  Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy (Psalm 107:22). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted (Isaiah 12:4).  We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for Your name is near; and men tell of Your wonderful deeds (Psalm 75:1). 

    Now therefore, our God, we [too] give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:13).

  • A Prayer of Thanksgiving to God

    You turned my wailing into dancing, You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to You and not be silent.  O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever (Psalm 30:11-12). 

    But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You.  What I have vowed, I will make good.  Salvation comes from the Lord (Jonah 2:9). I am under vows to You, O God; I will present my thank offerings to You (Psalm 56:12). 

    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).  I will thank the Lord for His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17). 

    I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise You (Psalm 35:18).  I will praise God’s name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving (Psalm 69:30). I will sacrifice a thank offering to You and call on the name of the Lord (Psalm 116:17).

    Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 118:19).  I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation (Psalm 118:21). 

    I thank Christ Jesus my Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me faithful, appointing me to His service (1 Timothy 1:12). 

    I thank my God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember [You] in my prayers (2 Timothy 1:3).  At midnight I rise to give You thanks for Your righteous laws (Psalm 119:62). 

    God of my ancestors, I thank and praise You. (Daniel 2:23). You are my God, and I will give You thanks; You are my God, and I will exalt You.  Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. (Psalm 118:28-29). 

    Thanks be to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Romans 7:25).  I always thank God for … of His grace given in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:4).  Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15). 

    “Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to You, God, for ever and ever Amen!” (Revelation 7:12). 

  • A Prayer to Glorify God

    O God, I love to glorify You, and to praise Your Holy Name (Psalm 86:12).  Glorifying You makes Your presence more real to me.  I will bless You at all times, and Your praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1), for You are the King of all the earth (Psalm 47:7).  Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty.  For all that is in heaven and in the earth is Yours.  Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as the head over all (1 Chronicles 29:11).  Now therefore, my God, I thank You and praise Your glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:13), for You are good, and Your mercy endures forever (Psalm 107:1). 

    Let us glorify His name together, for each one of us adds something different to His smile.

    In view of all the mercies of God, I make a decision to dedicate my body – presenting all my members and faculties – as a living sacrifice, consecrated and well pleasing to You, my God, which is my reasonable service and spiritual worship (Romans 12:1).  It is not in my own strength for it is You, Lord, who is all the while effectually at work in me – energizing and creating in me the power and desire, both to will and to work for Your good pleasure and satisfaction and delight (Philippians 2:13). 

    Father, I will not draw back or shrink in fear, for then You would have no delight or pleasure in me (Hebrews 10:38).  I was bought at a very high price – purchased with preciousness and paid for – I was made Your very own.  So, I honor You, Lord, and will bring glory to You in my body (1 Corinthians 6:20).  I called on You in the day of trouble; You delivered me, and I shall therefore honor and glorify You (Psalm 50:15).  I rejoice because You delivered me and drew me to Yourself out of the control and dominion of darkness and transferred me into the kingdom of the Son of Your love (Colossians 1:13). 

    As a bond servant of Jesus Christ, I receive and develop the talents which have been given me, for I long to have You say of me “well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).  May I make use of the gifts according to the grace given me (Romans 12:6).  May I let my light so shine before men that they may see my moral excellence and my praiseworthy, noble and good deeds, and recognize and honor and praise and glorify my Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).  In the name of Jesus, I allow my life to lovingly express truth in all things – speaking truth, dealing in truth, living in truth (Ephesians 4:15).  Whatever I do – no matter what it is – in word or deed, I do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in dependence upon His person, giving praise to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).  Whatever happens to be my task, I work at it heartily as something done for the Lord and not for men (Colossians 3:23). 

    Because Your lovingkindness is better than life to me, my lips shall praise You, and I will bless and glorify You while I live.  I will lift up my hands in Your name.  As You satisfy my soul as with marrow and fatness, my mouth will praise You with joyful lips (Psalm 63:3-5).  Holy, holy, holy are You, Lord God Almighty, which always was, and is, and is to come (Revelation 4:8).  You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power and praise, for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure they are and were created (Revelation 4:11).  Power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise be to my God forever and ever (Revelation 5:12).  Amen.
