Father in heaven, thank You for hearing and answering this psalmist’s prayer for deliverance, atonement and salvation. Thank You, Jesus, for fulfilling the law and the prophets with Your death, burial and resurrection. Thank You for bringing us new life, eternal hope, by laying down Your life and raising it up again that we may believe and be saved to the glory of the Father. We bring our gratitude to exalt You in the name and authority of Jesus the Christ, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! ​​Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, ​​For we have been brought very low. ​​Help us, O God of our salvation, ​​For the glory of Your name; ​​And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, ​​For Your name’s sake!” (Psalms 79: 8-9 NKJV)
