Holy and Living God, we thank you for your word and statutes which light our path and preserve our lives. Give us courage to show forth your mercy and joy, like Elizabeth and Zechariah, instigating others to speak, praise, talk the awesome wonders you have done in our lives. Help us to be extremely zealous for the traditions of our ancestors which are imbedded in their spiritual practices, teachings and commands. We beseech you to instill a clean and right spirit to walk in truth, love, and obedience to His commands, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
