Father God, You are good. You are ever present. Your Holy Spirit leads us and deepens our understanding. Your Son rules in our lives and hearts, and we will spend eternity in His loving care. No one loves us more completely. No one answers our prayers physically, emotionally and spiritually like You, for You are El Roi, the God who sees us.
You deserve praise for Your goodness, praise for Your holiness, praise for your lovingkindness, and praise for your Word that is Truth. There is no God like You who grants us Your strength to bolster our souls. We give You all the honor and glory in the beautiful name and powerful authority of Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.” (Psalms 138: 1-3 NKJV)
