Yahweh Sabbaoth, You are the Lord of Hosts over the armies in heaven and on earth. You are Yahweh Shalom, the LORD our peace at the same time. You are Jehovah Elkanna, a jealous God. You go out for the salvation of those who love You. We come to proclaim that we choose to serve You. We choose to follow and love You, our God and Father. Forgive us when we fail you. We bring our praise in the name and authority of Jesus, who atoned for our sin, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24: 14-15 NKJV)
