Father in heaven, You are Yahweh Sabaoth, the LORD of Hosts both in heaven and on earth. There is no greater God. You are our banner, our help and defender. We exalt Your attributes and praise You for Your justice and mercy. We ask Your Holy Spirit to guide our hearts in mercy and justice for Your good pleasure.
With Your guidance, we turn to You. With Your help, we wait upon Your goodness and grace. We praise You that You do what You promise and You are who You proclaim. We bring our gratitude in the name and authority of Your Son and our Savior, Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“That is, the LORD God of hosts. The LORD is His memorable name. So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.” (Hosea 12: 5-6 NKJV)
