Psalm 113:1-3 New King James Version
113 Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord! 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore! 3 From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised.
     Jesus, I praise and bless your name.

Romans 4:4-5 New King James Version
4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted [a]as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
     Father, I believe in you and your Son Jesus.

ASSIST us mercifully, 0 Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants, toward the attainment of everlasting salvation, that among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help; through Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP 1552)

Luke 15:14-19 New King James Version
14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”
     Holy Spirit, there is a famine of your word in this land; help us return to our Father's house in humility.

Isaiah 56:7 New King James Version
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
     Jesus, help us welcome all who would come to pray.

Psalm 107:1-2 New King James Version
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His [a]mercy endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
     LORD, you are good, and our heart's desire is to tell others of your goodness.

Psalm 107:3 New King James Version
3 And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
     Jesus, you have gathered our fellowship out of many backgrounds; thank you.

A Word Received: Wait on me, not passively, but actively; like servant who are about their master's business.
