Lord, my God, I now come unto Thy throne of grace and all mercies, acknowledging Thou art the Sovereign. Thou art the all-knowing God, nothing can be hidden from Thee, as Thou hath made them all come into existence by Thy holy will. Thou knowest me, O Lord, how deeply troubled and distressed I am. Nothing in my very self is pleasing to Thee, for I am a sinful hell-deserving man. But I thank Thee for the Christ, Thy only Son, my Saviour, who by His works on earth and death on the Cross for my sins, which I can come before Thee holy and blameless. I, therefore, thank thee for His imputed righteousness. Lord, I come as Thy child, crying unto Thee for help, for Thou art my Help and Refuge. I pray that Thou wouldst enable to face all the difficulties, even those in the lion’s den. Give me wisdom to speak to those who are in Thy visible church, yet not thy children, but with great authority over me. Grant me faith and courage to be constantly standing for Thy awesome everlasting truth. Guide me and guard my way that, although walking in death’s dark village, I shall fear not. Help me to sense Thy holy presence especially when facing those who are against Thee and Thy Word. Casus me to stand by faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank thee that I can come in prayer. Continue to equip me that I might be more conformed to the likeness of Thy Son, that Thou wouldst receive more glory. Pardon all my sins and iniquities. For my Saviour’s sake, Amen.

Psalm 28 (KJV)
A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
