Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation (Luke 11:4; NLT).
Always ask for God’s forgiveness –
And
Remember to absolve
Yourself,
And all who hurt you.
Always ask for God’s assistance –
And
Remember to support
Yourself,
And all in need.
Always ask for God’s compassion –
And
Remember to console
Yourself,
And all who suffer.
Always ask for God’s protection –
And
Remember to defend
Yourself,
And all the weak.
Always ask for God’s redemption –
And
Remember to release
Yourself,
And all in chains.
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners (Isaiah 61:1; NIV).
