A Prayer for Our College Students
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 135:1-13, Daniel 1:1-17
Reflections of the Heart:
The benefits that a college education affords are priceless. It is a blessing for students to be able to attend college and afford a good education; so we praise God for all who pay the tuition of a college student.
Scriptural Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for our college students. Thank You for providing the ability for them to learn and process information. Thank You for helping them with their studies and blessing them in the classroom. Thank You for blessing them with scholarships, financial aid and employment. We thank You for state and federal funds to be made available for the college education. Lord, we are grateful and we bless Your wonderful Name. Today, we come clapping our hands and shouting to You with joyful praise. You are the Lord, Most High, and You are awesome! You are the great King of all the earth.
Eternal Father, we confess Your Word over our college students as they pursue their education and over the persons who pay their tuition. We are expecting You to work effectually in them, creating within them the power and desire to study and complete their course work. We confess that favor will surround our students and they will have good relationships with their teachers and fellow students. They will put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within them and will not defile themselves with the ways of the world through fornication, excessive drinking and illegal drug use, unclean behavior, ungodly passions, evil desire, covetousness, rebellion, and idolatry. We declare that those who are paying for tuition will have more than enough. Their needs will be supplied from Your glorious riches which have been given to them in Christ Jesus. Like Jesus, we decree that our college students will increase in wisdom and stature and they have favor with You, their teachers, school administrators, and fellow students.
List the people you know who are continuing their education. Begin to pray for their success academically and financially: ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
Holy Spirit, please increase the intellectual capacity of our college students as they pursue their fields of study. Please open internship opportunities that will allow them to obtain hands-on experience in their respective career choices. Please encourage those who are struggling financially and want to give up. Please continue to open financial doors and reveal scholarships, grants, and other financial aid opportunities. Increase the self confidence of our students so that they will have the boldness to share their faith. Protect our students from being captured with empty philosophies and high-sounding ideas that come from aberrant human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. Help our students in Christ to differentiate between Your truth and the world’s facts. Holy Father, keep our students healthy and their bodies strong; protected from diseases, viruses or any other germs from the dorm environments.
Wonderful Father, forgive those college students who have not been diligent in their studies. Forgive them for not trusting You to provide all their needs. Forgive them for getting involved with people and activities that do not add value to their education. Please forgive them for all acts of sinfulness including: lack of faith, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, homosexuality, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness and revelries. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind our college students of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I
54


forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help our college students not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Lord, Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. Lord, You are King! You are robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. Lord, Your throne has stood from time immemorial. You are from the everlasting past. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

A Prayer for Our Singles
Scripture Reading: Psalm 146, Psalm 139
Reflections of the Heart:
Instead of trying to figure out what is wrong with being single, why not celebrate the freedom that God has provided to allow singles to bring His will to fruition? Let us pray that the singles of our Church Family will rejoice in knowing that they are not alone...that they have the perfect companion in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and by virtue of being in a relationship with Him, they not only receive God’s love, but are able to share His love without restriction.
Scriptural Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the single members of our Church Family. Thank You, Lord, for being their strength, refuge and fortress. We thank You for satisfying their mouths with good things so that their youth is renewed like that of the eagle. You are our God, in whom we trust. Our souls bless You with all that is within us. We bless Your Holy Name! We bless You, and remember all of Your benefits.
Compassionate Father, we confess that the singles in our Church Family love You with all their hearts, souls, strength, and minds and they love their neighbors as they love themselves. They are filled with Your Holy Spirit, and have the mind of Christ. We declare that our singles can do all things through Christ who strengthens them. Our singles are planted by the rivers of water, and they will bring forth fruit in their season. Their leaves will not wither and whatever they do will prosper. In addition to natural bread, we confess that they will continue to live by every Word that proceeds out of Your mouth. As the just, they live by faith and are over-comers in Jesus’ Name.
Father, today I commit to encouraging the following singles:
________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
Holy Spirit, direct our singles in the areas of friendship, companionship, ministry, employment, career and finances. In their relationships, bless them with people who are wise, kind, likeminded, patient, and trustworthy. Send them friends and associates who will love and appreciate them. Touch the hearts of all of our singles to work in a ministry in our Church Family. Remind them that their needs are met when they attend to the needs of others. Help them to be skillful and diligent in their workplaces as they apply themselves to honest labor and honorable employment. For those singles who desire a mate, help them to wait patiently on You. Holy Spirit, comfort those who experience loneliness and equip us as a Church Family to provide the extended family and support that they may desire. Heal broken hearts and wounded spirits. Bless our single parents and provide a stable support system to help them with their children.
Loving Father, forgive our singles for their sins. Forgive them for not trusting You totally with their lives. Forgive those who have depended on themselves instead of You. Forgive those singles who are anxious and fretful about their singleness and help them to be satisfied with their lives. Forgive those who follow the desires of their flesh instead of the desires of Your Holy Spirit. Father, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind our singles of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help our singles not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.

Prayer Topic #17:
A Prayer for Our Mature Adults
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 16:5-11, Titus 2:1-5
Reflections of the Heart:
We live in a society that celebrates youthfulness and looks down upon getting older. Billions of dollars are spent on products and procedures to keep people looking and feeling young. Our mature adults have seen things we couldn’t even imagine and survived things we could never comprehend facing. They are filled with wisdom and experience that our society needs. Take some time to pray for the mature adults in your life. Let us not forget them.
Scriptural Prayer:
Gracious Father, we thank You for our mature adults. Thank You for the wisdom and knowledge that they share with us. Thank You for providing for their spiritual, emotional, financial and physical need. Your Name, O Lord, endures forever; Your fame is known to every generation. You are righteous in everything that You do; You are filled with kindness. You are close to all who call upon You in truth. You grant the desires of those who fear You; You hear their cries for help and rescue them. We praise You, Lord; may everyone on earth bless Your holy Name forever and ever.
Eternal Father, we confess that the older men in our Church Family will exercise self-control, are worthy of respect and live wisely. They have strong faith and are filled with love and patience. We declare that our older women are honorable and righteous. They are not slanderous or heavy drinkers. Instead, we confess that they will teach others what is good; they will train the younger women in our Church Family to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. We decree that our older men are models of God’s strength and faithfulness, and they will teach our young men to respect authority, provide for their wives and children, live wisely, lead with compassion and fairness, and love their wives like Christ loves the church. We declare that our mature adults will continue to flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. Even in old age, they will still produce fruit and remain vital and green.
Write down the names of mature adults that you know. Now, write down ways that you can enrich or bless their lives: ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
Holy Spirit, we know that some of our mature adults are lonely; please help us as a Church Family to reach out to them and surround them with the love of the Father. Impress upon their family members to come and visit them and spend quality time with them. Please help us to identify those seniors who have isolated themselves and show us how to meet their needs effectively. Lord, many of our mature adults have worked hard all of their lives and some of them have seen their retirement funds depleted. Please open up new revenue streams so that they will not have to struggle or go without financially. Father, protect them from those who would try to prey upon them with get-rich-quick schemes, unnecessary mediation, predatory loans or any other schemes to steal from them. Increase their discernment and wisdom when they make decisions, especially where their health and finances are concerned. Remind our younger generations to regard our mature adults with honor and respect.
Merciful Father, forgive us as a nation for disregarding and disrespecting our mature adults. Forgive us for viewing them as feeble and disposable. Forgive those mature adults who don’t depend completely upon You, but look at their circumstances. Forgive those who have allowed life to cause them to grow bitter and angry. Forgive those who do not check on or intentionally do not spend time with their older relatives. Lord, forgive me
58


for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind our mature adults of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, remind our mature adults not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Lord, there is no one like You! You are great, and Your Name is full of power. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? That title belongs to You alone! All glory majesty, power and authority are Yours before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

A Prayer for Health Professionals
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 136, Mark 16:15-20
Reflections of the Heart:
“To array a man’s will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.”
~ Martin H. Fischer, German-American Physician and Author
Scriptural Prayer:
Divine Father, thank You for showing us the wonders of Your unfailing love. Thank You for hearing our cry for mercy and answering our call for help. Thank You for all those in the Body of Christ who serve in the health profession. We thank You for doctors, nurses, researchers, scientists, hospital administrators, therapists, pharmacists, medical assistants, paramedics, and medical technicians with discernment, understanding, knowledge, and courage. What a blessing they are to all of us! By Your wisdom, You have strategically equipped and anointed men and women with expertise in medicine, science, nutrition, pharmacy, surgery, rehabilitation, and counseling. Lord, You made the heavens Your throne; You rule over everything from there. Your angels praise You, Lord. Your mighty ones who carry out Your plans, listen for each of Your commands. Lord, everything that You created will praise You; everything in Your Kingdom! Let all that we are praise You!
All-Wise Father, we decree that just as the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, feared and obeyed You, our health professionals will not succumb to the pressure to compromise; but they remain committed to their oath to “do no harm.” We believe that You are working wonders in the health profession right now. We confess that our health professionals believe in the promises of Your Word, and as they ask You, You will tell them remarkable secrets about things to come in their profession. They will be pioneers in discovering cures and medical breakthroughs for our generation. We decree that the health professionals in our Church Family will seek Your wisdom and knowledge and always pursue excellence in their chosen fields. They are dedicated to the proper care and treatment of all their patients and they will remember to show their patients mercy, just as You have shown mercy to them.
Now, ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of the names of those you know in the health field and pray for their specific needs: ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
Holy Spirit, remind our health professionals not to trust in human wisdom; but in the power of God. Please comfort the hearts of those who have recently lost a patient who was under their care. Help them to heal from the emotional wounds that come along with their jobs. Give them the boldness they need to stand up for their patients’ rights and to contribute significantly to the pursuit of health reform in our country. Remind our health professionals that they represent the Kingdom of God in the health industry, so their demeanor and behavior should reflect Kingdom principles. Please continue to bless the covenant partnerships that our ministries have formed with the medical community, including Texas Children’s Hospital, Methodist Hospital, M.D. Anderson and TIRR Memorial Hermann. May we continue to work together to bring the best health to more underserved communities.
Beloved Father, forgive those among our health professionals who have been prideful and arrogant, taking Your glory for themselves. Forgive those who have been more concerned with financial gain than being a servant. Forgive those who have neglected to do their jobs in excellence and who have placed the lives of others in jeopardy by cutting corners and taking shortcuts. Forgive those who have failed to show compassion while working with the loved ones of their patients. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind our health professionals of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive.
60


As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help our health professionals not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Lord of Glory, You alone are God. You are the First and the Last. It was Your hand that laid the foundations of the earth. Your right hand spread out the heavens above. When You call out the stars, they all appear in order. You alone can never die and You live in light so brilliant that no human can approach You. No human eye has ever seen You, nor ever will. All honor and power is Yours forever, Lord! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving for Passover
Scripture Reading:
Exodus 15:1-18, Luke 22:7-30
Reflections of the Heart:
As we prepare to celebrate the Passover Feast, let us reflect, as a Church Family, on the eternal love and faithfulness of God, Our Father, on Jesus Christ, our Sacrificial Lamb who took away the penalty of our sins, and upon the Holy Spirit, our Holy Guide and Comforter. May we maintain the privilege the Lord has afforded us through this sacred experience.
Scriptural Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You wouldn’t leave us in our sins. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being the Sacrificial, Passover Lamb so that we may be redeemed back to the Father. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for drawing us to the Father and piercing our hearts to say “yes” when He called us. Triumphant Lord, we praise You. With our whole hearts we thank You as we meet with Your Godly people. Your deeds are amazing! All who delight in You shall ponder them. Everything that You do reveals Your glory and majesty. Your righteousness never fails. You cause us to remember Your wonderful works. You are so gracious and merciful!
Blessed Father, You said that if we will come close to You, You will come close to us. As a Church Family, we are grateful to draw close to You during the Spring Feasts. We confess that during Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we will slow down so that we can give You our full attention. You said that Your people are being destroyed because they do not know You. As a Church Family, we declare that we will learn more about You and Your love for us during this special time. We thank You for the opportunity to remember and celebrate You. We will meet with You at this special time. We will not miss our appointment. We declare that the joy, peace, health and provision of the Lord, will overtake our congregation.
I commit to laying the following things aside during this time so that I can spend more time with the Father. (List those things):
Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of our understanding to know the hope of our calling in Jesus Christ, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe. Consecrate us as we gather together. Unite our Church Family as a community of believers during the Seder meal. During our Seders, help us to share the importance of the Seder dinner with our guests in a clear and appealing manner. Father, bless us and help us to teach our children Your statutes in our homes. Increase our wisdom, discernment, and revelation knowledge as we prepare for Passover. Reveal to us the sin in our lives which is not seen by the naked eye, so that we may repent.
Saving Father, forgive us for not being more committed to You. Forgive us for having a form of godliness, but denying Your power. Forgive those of us who speak of You with our lips, but our hearts are far from You. Lord, create within us clean hearts and renew a steadfast spirit within us. Forgive us for being selfish, self-seeking, and only concerned about those things that benefit us directly. Lord, please hear our prayers and forgive us of our sin when we pray during the Passover season. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, as a Church Family, help us not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving for Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 19, John 1:29-34
Reflections of the Heart:
“Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread of sincerity and truth!” I Corinthians 5:7-8
Scriptural Prayer:
Our Father God, we thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your one and only Son (Jesus, our Passover Lamb), so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. We love and adore You. Lord Jesus, thank You for sacrificing Your life on the cross for our sins. Because of You, we can now stand before You as pure, holy, and justified. We also thank You for sending the Holy Spirit, our Comforter. Holy Spirit, thank You for filling us with love, fruit, gifts and power. We exalt You, our God and King. We praise Your Name forever and ever. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on our tongue. We will proclaim Your greatness. Everyone will share the story of Your wonderful goodness. We will sing with joy about Your righteousness.
Jesus, our Bread of Life, we are grateful that You have given us peace with God. Because of Your obedience and sacrifice there is no longer a void between us and our Heavenly Father. Lord, You were wounded for our transgressions. You were bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon You, and by Your stripes we are healed. Hallel YAH! When we were utterly helpless, You came at just the right time and died for us sinners. You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. A passover lamb was sacrificed and its blood was used as a sign of redemption from death for the children of Israel. That is what God made You to be for us - our Passover Lamb. We will forever praise and honor You. Because of You, we now have eternal life. We proclaim that You, have the highest place of honor. Your Name is above all other names. At Your Name every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that You are Lord. Thank You for redeeming us and placing the Kingdom of God within us.
Who is Jesus Christ to you? What will you do to become more like Him?
Holy Spirit, help us to reflect daily on the grace of God through the ministry of Jesus. Help us to stay focused on Kingdom business instead of worldly desires, and selfish cares and concerns. Help us to regard Jesus’ Name as holy. Help us to keep renewing our minds daily until the image of Christ is formed on the inside of us. Especially, at this appointed time, help us to show great reverence for the suffering, the shame, and the sacrifice of our Lord. And keep us humbled in knowing that were it not for Jesus Christ, we would have no hope at all.
Loving Father, forgive us for at times disregarding the sacrifice the Lord Jesus made to secure our freedom. Forgive us for taking unfair advantage of that freedom. Forgive those of us for failing to observe communion with You and with our families. Forgive us for not teaching our children to honor the Lord Jesus. Forgive us for making excuses for our disobedience in doing our part to fulfill the Great Commission. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

Scriptural Prayer:
Magnificent Father, You are our Healer, and Your Word declares everyone who calls on Your Name will be saved. By the authority in Your Name, we decree that all forms and types of cancer within the bodies of Your people will no longer have dominion. We decree that no weapon formed against the spiritual and physical bodies of Your people will prosper. We cancel the devil’s assignments to destroy their bodies with carcinoma, sarcoma, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and all forms of cancer, including the central nervous system. We declare that all malignant and abnormal cells are dying; they are no longer dividing and spreading through the blood or lymph systems. By faith, we boldly command complete healing of the immune system in the bodies of Your children. Lord, we command peace to be still in their lives as they are being made whole by the miraculous power of God.
Holy Spirit, continue to use all health professionals as instruments of healing; through the practice of medicine, prayer offered in faith, the laying on of hands and other means of healing that You have ordained. Give researchers divine insight into the causes, diagnoses and treatment of cancers. Strengthen those who are suffering with cancer, and help them to walk by faith. Fill them with Your presence and remind them that You will never fail or abandon them. Surround them with Your peace as they undergo chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery or other cancer treatment methods. Touch the hearts of family members to provide an atmosphere of faith, hope and love.
Today, I will cry out to the Lord as I pray in faith for (list the name(s):
Loving Father, forgive us for doubting Your love and power to heal our bodies. Forgive us for at times being irresponsible with our health. Forgive us for not acknowledging the abundance of Your healing virtue, grace and mercy. Forgive us for ungodly behavior including: unforgiveness, bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Forgive our nation for creating unhealthy conditions in our food supply and environment. Have mercy upon us all according to Your Word. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Faithful Father, we are thankful for Jesus, the Living Word, who is seated at Your right hand. We give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good. Your faithful love endures forever. Who can list Your glorious miracles, Lord? We give thanks to You, Jesus, for You took our sicknesses and removed our diseases. Holy Spirit, we thank You for Your power that brings healing to our bodies and souls. Father, we will exalt You, our God and King, and praise Your Name forever and ever. Daily, we will praise You, for You are great and most worthy of praise! No one can measure Your greatness. We will meditate on Your majestic, glorious splendor and Your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; we will proclaim Your greatness.

Honorable Father, we thank You for the Spring Feasts. Thank You for this special time to commune with You. Thank You for providing for our families so that we can bring an offering back to You. Lord, the heavens proclaim Your glory and the skies display Your craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Your presence known. We praise You, our Rock. Be exalted, the God of our salvation! We will praise You among the nations and sing praises to Your Name! Because of You, Lord, we are filled with laughter, and we sing for joy. Others have said what amazing things the Lord has done for them. Yes, You, Lord, have done amazing things for our Church Family! What joy we have experienced with You!
Loving Father, You have set the appointed times for us to celebrate and worship You in the spring. As a part of the celebration, Your Word instructs us to bring offerings as a sign of our love and devotion to You. As a Church Family, we will obey Your Word and we look forward to giving of our best. We will give with cheerful hearts to You during the Spring Feasts.

Holy Spirit, please help us to yield our hearts to You as You lead and direct us in our giving during the Spring Feasts. Help us to be willing and generous in our giving and not hesitant or stingy.

Forgive all of us for any selfishness or greed. Remind us of those that we owe so that we may repay our debts. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive.

Omniscient Father, as a Church Family, we thank You for being our God. We thank You for saving us through the sacrifice of Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit, please instruct us in our relationships, ministries, careers and finances. Make our hearts strong, blameless, and holy as we stand before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy people.

Help us to spread the Good News with gladness. May the joy that we have as a Church Family become contagious throughout our communities.
Loving Father, forgive us for all acts of sinfulness, including strife, discord, jealousy, rivalries, gossip and any abuse of power.

As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.
Immortal Lord, You are the blessed and only Almighty God. You are the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. You alone can never die. You live in light so brilliant that no human can approach You. No human eye has ever seen You, nor ever will. To You belongs all honor and power forever and ever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
