The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below. (Proverbs 15:24)
Abba, our Great God, our only King and Savior, You saved us from the death of our souls. From Your highest position, You went down to our humble state for our sins to be forgiven. We are nothing compared to You. We have no honor to present before You. Despite that, Your love and grace still prevailed. You laid down Your life and shed Your sacred blood to redeem us from our sins. Our Lord, please help us not to take all the things You did for us for granted. Now, we know the right path You showed us. With Your help, our God, may we be faithful in walking on the path You put us on. May we never depart and walk on another path, for any path away from what You prepared will lead us to damnation. May holiness always rule in our minds and hearts, so at the end of our journey, we will be with You in Your Kingdom in Heaven and in everlasting life. With whole faith, we pray all these to our only God, Christ Jesus. Amen.
