Gracious Father,

Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you - you are my God.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.

Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.

In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me. (Psalm 86:1-7)

in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
