You who do not despise
the prayer of the
destitute,
hear our prayer, O
Lord,
that we may not
ignore,
or worse yet punish,
any who speak in
your name.
By your grace
you have shown us
your works; by your
grace
help us believe in
them and in you.

Selected Verses
Ps. 102:17
[The LORD] will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and will not despise their prayer.
and will not despise their prayer.
Jer. 26:16
Then the officials and all the people said to the priests
and the prophets, “This man [Jeremiah] does not deserve the sentence of death,
for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.”
Rom. 11:5-6
So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by
grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works,
otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
John 10:38
"…But if I do [the works of my Father], even though you
do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that
the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
[Jesus to those who wanted to stone him]
