Context: This prayer was written a few days ago, but being unable to write at present (because I’m ill with Covid), has given me an unexpected opportunity to use it here today.
NB: My husband started to feel ill yesterday, and has now also tested positive for covid, so we are in isolation.
God already loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God (John 16:27; TIB).
Lord,
Do you love even me?
And do you hear my every plea?
And do you really set me free?
You do.
You’re the way, the door, the key.
You teach, forgive and guide. You see
My sins, yet still you guarantee
It’s true.
Yahweh, Son and Spirit: Three
In One, God for eternity –
May all believe, and bow the knee
To you.
“As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God” (Romans 14:11; NIV).

Reading: Isaiah 45:22-24; NIV
Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn,
My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
By me every tongue will swear.
They will say of me, “In the LORD alone are deliverance and strength.”
