Prayer: Let Your Mercies Overtake Us

Lord God, I set my heart to seek You. May I be known as one who belongs to You wholeheartedly. May I not quench Your Spirit, O Lord. Wipe away our sins and disperse our errors, and reveal Your mercy at this hour. Speedily let Your mercies overtake us and put praises in the mouth of those who are downcast and broken in Spirit, and give us peace. May we rejoice in You always and pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances realizing that this is Your will, O God, in Christ Jesus, knowing that You will fulfill in us all that You have planned. Thank You for being a God who is near us and hears our prayers. Amen (2 Chronicles 26.5; Jeremiah 24.7; 3 Maccabees 2.19-20; 1 Thessalonians 5.18,19,23-24)
