A New Day, let us Pray

 

O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps His covenant of love with those who love Him and obey His commands, let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to the prayer I am praying before You.

I am Your child whom You redeemed by Your great strength and mighty hand. O Lord let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your child who delights in revering Your name.

Give me success today by granting me favour in the presence of men.

The gracious hand of my God is upon me. The God of heaven gives me success.

Remember me with Your favour, O my God.

Now, strengthen my hands so that everything I put my hands to, will be blessed and whatever I do prospers.

The joy of the Lord is my strength. Blessed be Your glorious name and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.

You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.

You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship You. You are the Lord God.

You are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.

You gave Your good Spirit to instruct me.

You do not withhold Your manna from my mouth, and You give me water for my thirst.

You sustain me; I lack nothing, my clothes do not wear out, nor do my feet become swollen. I possess houses filled with all kinds of good things, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. I eat to the fill and I am well-nourished. I revel in Your great goodness.

From heaven You hear me, and in Your great compassion You give me deliverers, who rescue me from the hand of my enemies. And when I cry out to You again, You hear from heaven and deliver me time after time.

In Your great mercy, You do not put an end to me or abandon me, for You are a gracious and merciful God.

O my God, the great, mighty and awesome God who keeps His covenant of love, in all that has happened to me, You have been just and You have acted faithfully.

I thank You O God for remembering me and showing me mercy according to Your great love.

I thank You that You remember me with favour, O my God.

In the Name of Jesus, Amen †
