Our God is for us


Our giving Father,
You are for us; who could possibly oppose us.
You have given us your son; there is nothing more precious that you could supply.
You have justified us; who shall convict us.
Christ intercedes for us; who shall condemn us.
We are downtrodden; but nothing will separate us from your love.
Attached to you we are hyper-conquerors.

Thank you.

Amen

Adopted

Father you have loved us;
Set your seal upon us;
Chosen to live in us;
Made us to belong to you;
Taken us as sons and daughter;
Redeemed our bodies;
Filled us with hope;
Inhabited our prayers;
Given us life;
And given us an inheritance.

We thank you that we are loved indeed.

Hope in Suffering


Father,
You are at work for our good.
You are transforming us to be like your son our brother.
You seek that we are done with rebellion and wickedness and sin;
But these hold tenaciously to our hearts;
And our souls are turned away from you.
Do the work of suffering in us.

May our love for you be our all consuming passion.
May your purpose be our desire.
May your calling be our hope.
May our predestination be our security.
May our justification be our awe;
And our glorification be our vision.
Do the work of suffering in us.

Amen
