Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. – Isaiah 40:28
Lord God, Almighty and Eternal, having dominion over all creation, as their only Creator, we exalt your Name, for you are our Everlasting God, Who gives life, and makes plans for that life by integrating it within the Universal plan, which is Infallible. As King over all the hemisphere and its inhabitants, your Provision and Deliverance embraces all beings, and we exult in the faith, belief and knowledge, that you will, according to your promises, never abandon us.
You have perfect understanding of our fears and also of the worldly passions and pleasures, which divert our paths and make us stray into the dangers of sin and eternal death. But with the greatness of your love and the strength of your glory you have conquered worldliness, have defeated its ruler, and have awarded us eternal salvation through Christ’s death and resurrection, holding us firmly, on the path of righteousness.
There is no way by which we can grasp the intensity of your compassion, of your understanding, of your just counsels, by which you bind us with your covenant, govern us with your precepts, and in a most particular manner your faithful promises, which are far above the reach of mortal comprehension and we surrender our entire selves in humble submission, adhering to the ways and works of our infinitely wise God, in our Lord and Savior Jesus’ Name. Amen
