Adonai,
like those who came before us, we call upon Your
Name, declaring who You are, what You are like
and what You have done!
Lord,
You are the self existent One. You always existed.
You never had a beginning and will never have
an end. You are the eternal God who was, who is
and who is to come! Although it is impossible
for my limited mind to understand that, I believe
it and I am in awe of You!
Adonai,
You are eternal. Therefore I don’t have
to die. I can live eternally with You and those
whom You love and approve. My life can have eternal
significance!
Lord,
You are the Creator of the entire universe, including
the things that are visible and invisible. You
are the Source of Life and Existence for all else.
You are my Creator, my Maker and my God, and I
thank You!
Adonai,
You are infinite. You are greater than the universe,
and everything in it. There will always be an
infinite gap between You, the Creator and me,
Your creature. There will always be more to learn
about You. I look forward to the exciting and
eternal challenge of growing in my knowledge about
You!
Lord,
You are a person. You have mind, emotion and will.
You made me a person, and so I can think, reason
and know: I can experience love and wonder. I
am free to exercise my will, make my own decisions,
and choose to have a wonderful personal relationship
with You!
Adonai,
You are omnipresent. There is no place I can go
where You are not there. If I could travel to
the end of the universe, You would be there. If
I could reduce my size to the smallest subatomic
particle, even there I would find You. You will
always be there for me, there to be my God, there
to watch over me.
Lord,
You are all powerful. You are the Mightiest One.
You control all the forces in Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, I have confidence that Your good will
and Your wonderful plan for me, for Messiah’s
Holy Community and for the universe will triumph!
Adonai, You are perfect. Nothing can be added
to Your perfection. You are complete. Everything
You do is done with a marvelous and incomparable
perfection!
Lord,
You are all knowing. Your understanding is infinite.
I can always come to You for all the wisdom I
will ever need. You can meet my thirst for knowledge.
Adonai,
You are love. It is Your nature to love others,
to enter into a loving relationship with them,
to give them good things, to bless them, to elevate
them. Lord, I thank You for loving me, which makes
my life so rich and meaningful. Lord, I willingly
choose to love You!
Lord,
You are gracious. You give generously to all,
even to those who don’t deserve it like
me. So, I simply say, “thank You”
gracious God. Thank You for Your grace, which
will always be sufficient for me!
Adonai,
You are merciful. You don’t always judge
with the strict justice that Your sinful creatures
so often deserve. I can have peace, knowing how
fallible I am, how prone I am to sin, but also
knowing that there is abundant forgiveness with
You.
Lord,
You are holy. You are infinitely pure, separate
from anything that is evil. You can do no wrong.
And yet, You are able to transform a sinner like
me. Therefore holy God, help me to be holy, as
You are holy.
Adonai,
You are righteous. You will always do what is
right. You will never do what is wrong, unfair
or unjust. I praise You for being able to transform
someone who is unrighteous, like me, into someone
who is righteous. Thank You for making me righteous
through the Righteous One Messiah Yeshua!
Lord,
You are good. You are tender-hearted and sympathetic
toward Your creatures. You are kind, benevolent
and full of goodwill toward human beings. You
are inclined to bestow blessedness to us. You
take pleasure in the happiness of Your people.
I can expect good things from You, and trust You
to turn those things that appear to be bad into
something that is good.
Adonai, You are immutable. You will never change.
You are the same yesterday, today and forever.
You were always good, righteous, fair, faithful
and true, gracious and merciful, and I can rely
on You to always be good, righteous, fair, faithful
and true, gracious and merciful!
