Thank you for the mornings, which usher in new hope enabling us to go on another day. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
19 December: El Shadai, you are the only true God. You call and form everything into existence. Sometimes we behave as if we ourselves control our destiny. Give us the humility to recognize that you alone are God, and all things must come under your authority. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
20 December: Come, long expected Yeshua. Come, Lord, and set your people free. Many are still in darkness, being denied of your liberating power. As in days of old, redeem our souls unto your kingdom. Set your people free to glorify you. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.

Collect: El Shaddai, your son Yeshua gave up his glory and his place at your right hand to come to Earth to save sinners.

This we ask through your son, Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God, in shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
Collects for the Week:
15 December: El Shaddai , our God, how comforting it is to be reminded that however much we falter and stray from you, you will keep reaching out for us. We thank you this day for being there to catch us when we fall from faith. Thank you for your love. Amen.
16 December: El Shadai, we live in a materialistic world where values are often misplaced. We have had many catastrophes in our recent past in which the possessions we work so hard to accumulate vanish in a moment. Help us to set our minds on things eternal rather than things which are transitory. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and governs with you in Shekina glory everlasting. Amen.
17 December: El Shadai, Life-giving Savior, we come to you today seeking a new anointing. Come, dear Lord, and quench the thirsting of our souls. Bread of Heaven, feed us until we want no more. Fill our cup. Fill it up and make us whole.
Thank you for hearing us. Amen.
