The Lord Saves

A prayer based on Joshua 5:13 - 6:27

Lord God AlmightyWe bow down before you, in awe of your power.We are sorry for domesticating you.For treating you as a lap dog. Looking to you to bring us comfort or help us out of a tricky situation.We are so sorry for insisting that you fall in behind our plans,that you march to our beat, and work out our agenda.Forgive us to our foolish pride.And grant us humility before you.Holy God,We bow down before you, in fear of your purity.We are sorry for being casual in your presence.For rushing in, making demands of you.We should begin by seeking your forgivenessWe have no right to be near you, never mind to demand from you.You burn with passionate purity. And we are impure.Forgive us for our foolish pride.And grant us humilty before you.Living God,We bow down before you, in wonder at your salvation.You are just and holy. You are righteous.Your righteous anger should consume us.But you have saved us. Bearing the pain yourself.We thank you for the sacrifice of your Son Jesus.We thank you for your deep love for us.Keep us humble, keep us thankful.And may we always live for you.In Jesus our Great Saviours name we pray,AMEN.
