Opening Prayer during PASEI BoD Corp Planning, Feb. 03, 2012, Pranjetto Hills

1. Let us stand please…
Let us prepare our hearts.
Let us prepare our minds.
As we now approach
the throne of GOD.

2. Dear God…
Thank you for my life…
Thank you for creating the unique me…
Thank you for your faithful provision…
Thank you the undeserved blessings.
Thank you for the strength.
Thank you for the purpose behind the trials.
I praise you for
… your excellent greatness!
… for Your great mercies…
… for Your exceeding grace
… and for Your immeasurable love!

3. Almighty FATHER,
I acknowledge that you are a HOLY GOD
--- and you desire holiness.
Forgive me for excusing sin
… as imperfection
… as weakness
… as failure…
As David has prayed, I pray…
“Have mercy upon me…
O GOD, according to THY lovingkindness:
According to the multitude of THY tender mercies…
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.

4. For I know my transgressions;
And my sin is ever before me.
Against THEE, THEE only, have I sinned,
And done that which is evil in THY sight;
That THOU mayest be justified
when THOU speakest,
And be clear when THOU judgest.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;
And in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, THOU desirest truth in the inward parts;
And in the hidden part
THOU wilt make me to know wisdom.

5. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness,
That the bones which THOU hast broken may rejoice.
Hide THY face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O GOD;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from THY presence;
And take not THY Holy Spirit from me.

6. Restore unto me the joy of THY salvation;
And uphold me with a willing spirit.
For THOU delightest not in sacrifice;
---else would I give it:
THOU hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
A broken and contrite heart,
---O God, THOU wilt not despise.”
Here I am, Lord…
Please forgive me.

7. O GOD…YOU love me so much,
in that while I am yet a sinner,
YOU sent YOUR only begotten SON to save me,
---to save me from condemnation and hell’s damnation.
Jesus Christ, thank you for dying in my stead.
Today, I ask YOU to save me from sin and hell.
I am placing my dependence only on YOU…
to forgive me of my sins and to give me eternal life.
I thank you because this salvation is YOUR gift,
not a product of my own good works,
So that I shall not glory in what I do
but with what JESUS CHRIST did!

8. In humility, I come before you O God, I pray
…use me as YOUR instrument today.
Please accomplish YOUR purpose through me.
As leaders of the industry, please lead us on…
- as the board of directors, bind us as one
-- as we plan for the future, give us wisdom
--- and in hoping, give us faith.
May YOU be honored and glorified
…in ALL that we do today.
This we pray, in the most precious name of
…our God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

9. LORD,
we need
YOU…

10. Please all be seated…

11. We shall now listen
to the Opening Remarks
of our president.

12. Mr. President,
The Floor is yours,
Please do honors… 
