(from my book, Facing Change)
Dear Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ, Lord God, Lord Most High,
We thank You, LORD, for everything that You have done, everything that You are doing and everything that You will be doing. We thank You, LORD, for being the answer everyone needs every season of their lives. We thank You, LORD, for Your unfailing love leading a lost and broken humanity into salvation. We thank You, LORD, for making a way forward where there appears to be no way in the natural. We thank You, LORD, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world. We thank You, LORD, for the cross and the blood of Christ upon that cross.
I commit the works of my hands to You, Lord. Please speak Your words through my mouth, my hands, and my life. May my body be a faithful, willing, and available pencil in Your hand, Lord. Heal us, transform us, comfort and strengthen us, Lord. Lord, lead us into Your everlasting ways.
We come before you, Father, through Your Son Jesus Christ, and in the name of Jesus. We raise up holy hands, and we praise Your Name. We lift up Your Name, and we lift up Your Word. You are Faithful and True, God and Father, Father of the fatherless and Defender of widows and orphans [Psalm 68:5 NLT]. Father, we pray that You and Only You will keep Your Word pure.
Father, before our very eyes, the Lord Jesus Christ will come with the clouds of heaven. Everyone will see Him, even those who pierced Him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for Him. Yes! Amen! [Revelation 1:7 NLT].
Father, through Jesus, everyone who enters by Jesus will go in and out and find pasture [John 10:9 NKJV].
Father, I commit the work of Word Sabre to You and this book to You, Lord. We will succeed under Your Guiding Hand and Your Divine Providence. Though the task is massive and daunting, impossible is Your business. Everything works for the good of those who love God. I pray that You will reach everyone You need and want to reach with Your Word.
Jesus is the Highest Name, the Name that is above all Names. [Philippians 2:9 NIV] At the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [Philippians 2:10-11 NIV] Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to humankind by which we must be saved. [Acts 4:12 NIV]
For the Lord is good, and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. [Psalm 100:5 NIV] Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. [Psalm 106:1 NIV]
The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever. [Isaiah 40:8 NLT]
May the grace and peace of Abba Father the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Thank You, Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Word Sabre, scribe for Abba Father, LORD GOD, Lord Most High, Lord Jesus Christ.
