I BRING YOU A MESSAGE FROM GOD contained in seven short words. Six of the seven words are monosyllables, and the remaining word has but two syllables and is one of the most familiar and most easily understood words in the English language. Yet there is so much in these seven short, simple words that they have transformed many a life and brought many an inefficient worker into a place of great power.

Affirm daily your position in Christ:
GOD loves you unconditionally.
GOD forgives you completely.
GOD accepts you totally.
Lord, our God, take away the pain and heal the sickness of your people.
Grant them all complete health by the sign of your all-triumphant cross,
by which you took away the frailty of the human race and condemned the adversary of our life and salvaltion.
O good and merciful God.
You alone are able to forgive sins and to drive pain and sickness out of us.
And you know how to cure our afflictions.
O Giver of good gifts, give your creatures the gift of your abundant mercy, each according to their needs.
Let us always glorify and praise the all-holy Trinity, now and always, and unto the ages of ages.

You gave us the all triumphant sign of the holy cross as an invincible weapon

When King Hezekiah is taken ill, the Lord reveals to him that he will die from his illness, saying, "Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover."
Feeling cursed, Hezekiah prays this prayer, weeping bitterly, in which he appeals to God to have mercy on him.
The Lord grants his prayer, adding fifteen years to his life.
The Prayer of King Hezekiah inspired the composition of many ancient Armenian hymns (sharagans) which are sung to this day during church services.

You are the Good Shepherd, who goes after the wandering sheep.
You console the broken-hearted, and you give life to the dead.
You healed the bleeding woman who touched the fringe of your robe.
You liberated the daughter of teh Canaanite man from creul demons.
You forgave the debts of the two debtors and you forgave the sinful woman.
You gave the gift of healing to the paralytic while forgiving his sins.
You acquitted the tax collector by your word, and you received the thief in his final confession.
You took away the sins of the world and nailed them to the cross.
We implore and entreat you: forgive and pardon the faults and the sins of [name] both voluntary and involuntary,

You heard Hezekiah in the torment of his soul at the hour of his death, and you did not neglect his pleas.
Hear me too, your sinful and unworthy servant, at this moment.
For you are the Lord, who, in your love for mankind, commanded us to forgive those who fall into sin seventy times seven,
feeling regret for our iniquities and delighting over the return of the lost sheep.
Lord our God, when you entered the house of Zaccheus you said, "Today salvation has come to this house."
Now, as our loving and most-merciful Saviour, bring salvation today to this house too, for your mercy equals your greatness.
Glory and worship to you, now and always and unto the ages.
Amen.
