G
entle and fearful Healer,
I bow through the merit of my Lord Christ, asking that You would lift my wife’s beautiful drooping hands and strengthen her weak knees, and make straight paths for her feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Cause her to strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see You. May it never be that she fail to obtain Your grace! Protect her from any “root of bitterness” that springs up, causes trouble, and defiles many. Look after and guard her ways, that she may not be sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. Have mercy! For I know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. O beloved, take refuge in Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant. See that you do not refuse the warnings of His Father. Flee to Christ, and you need not fear. Father, help us as we strive to offer to You acceptable worship, with reverence and awe. For You are a consuming fire. Amen (Hebrews 12).
