True Petitions

A Prayer for The Masses
A Prayer from the Heart

God, you withhold much of what we deserve

Father we have taken for granted how Holy You are

How Holy Your Name is

We disrespect it

We profane it out of our ignorance and rebellion

Father what we should protect we destroy

We celebrate what should be condemned

We delight in punishment but refuse to

Apply correction

We call evil just and we shun righteousness

Forgive us Lord God! You have given us plenty

You have blessed us beyond measure

And still we are consistently unfaithful to you

Thank you for doing so much

Thank you for upholding your promises despite our adultery

We are a proud and sinful nation

We have defiled your creation without repentance

Arrogantly we accept Your gifts

As if we are owed something

We have forgotten ourselves

Master Your remnant is sorry

We plead for your forgiveness

But we know we can’t escape the coming consequences

Protect and prosper Your chosen
Allow Your Grace to flow freely over Yours
As we stand in our coming season of challenge and persecution

The ones in the present

The ones coming in the future

And the ones who have not yet decided to accept Your Salvation

Thank you Lord God You are Mighty

You are Holy

You are the Great I Am

You are He who is to Come

Hallelujah

Glory to the Lamb of God
