Abba Father,
Teach us, as your children, to humbly listen to you. Soften our hearts to your word and give us faith like a child. May we trust you as our Father to teach us the truth by the Spirit and the Word. Give us steps of faith to obey in response to your truth.
Amen.
Yahweh-M’kaddesh,
You are the God who sanctifies. I did not choose you, but you chose me (John 15:16). Please continue to sanctify us, as your chosen ones. Make us to bear the fruit of sanctification that only comes from you. Give us ears to hear your Word and willing hearts to grow.
Amen.
Yeshua our Savior,
Thank you for saving the believers in this congregation. Thank you for the freedom to confess your Lordship over everything and everyone and for the faith with which you have entrusted us. Thank you for giving us the Word that causes our faith in you to grow. Make us eager believers.
Amen.
