We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:20

Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
– Benjamin Franklin

We are humbled in our need. We are humbled in our helplessness. We are humbled in His attention directed to us when we are unworthy.

So we implore God for His assistance and reconciliation, recognizing and acknowledging our need, our helplessness, and our unworthiness. We are the sparrow on the ground, fallen from the nest, in trouble without His protecting Hand.

Hear our cry.
