Approach God's Throne of Grace--March 15, 2019

God of gods and Lord of lords,

the Great God, mighty and awesome,

you execute justice for the orphan and widow,

and you love the stranger, giving food and clothing.

You do not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted,

and so, with boldness we approach your throne of grace.

Give us, we pray you, your Spirit without measure,

that we may receive mercy and find grace

to help in time of need the afflicted.
