Blessed are You, Abba (יהוה YHWH) Almighty One, Creator and King of the universe. You are also, YHWH – Rapha (יְהֹוָה רָפָא). You are YHWH our Healer. Blessed be Your Name. You are good and Your Mercy endures forever, (Psalm 136:1). Have mercy upon us Abba-YAH. You are also the Righteous Judge, who judges all peoples with equity, (Psalm 75:2-3). All Your deeds are right. If You chose to destroy us all as in the days of the flood of Noah, you would be right, so that no man can rightly reproach You, (Psalm 19:9). Yet we cry out, have mercy upon us Abba-YAH!
We are not comfortable acknowledging this, but it is true. All death, all pestilence, all famine, all diseases, all plagues and all destruction are the results of sin, and Your Righteous Judgment, and the natural consequences over sin in the world. There was no death. There was no pestilence. There was no disease. There was no plague, and no destruction before man rebelled against You, and humanity brought sin and death into the world. Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH!
In your love, and in Your Compassion, You take no delight in the death of the wicked, (Ezekiel 18:23; Ezekiel 33:11), but You long that we should repent and be saved from destruction. Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH!
In your love, and in Your Compassion, You give us Grace to read, to understand, and to believe Your Word, (Luke 24:45-53; Acts 16:11-14; Psalm 25:4-5; Psalm 86:11-12). Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH!
In your love, and in Your Compassion, You sent Yahshua/Jesus (ישוע) the Messiah). You mercifully laid upon Him the iniquity of us all, so that by His Righteous Sacrifice, and by His stripes we would be healed, (Isaiah 53:1-12; 1 Peter 2:24-25). Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH!
In your love, and in Your Compassion, Grant us Grace to truly repent from evil and to do good, so that You will be pleased to rescue us, (2 Chronicles 7:14; Proverbs 3:3-8). Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH!
In your love, and in Your Compassion, You said, that whosoever would call upon Your Name would be saved, (Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13). I humbly call upon Your Name, Abba (יהוה YHWH) Almighty One. I also call upon the Name of Your Son, Yahshua/Jesus (ישוע) the Messiah Whom You have sent. I boldly ask, yet humbly beg that You would have pity upon us, and to save us. Please rebuke this plague of the coronavirus from all of us who call upon Your Name. Please heal our land of this pestilence and set us free from devastation and harm; NOT because WE are good Abba-YAH, but because YOU are so GOOD. We commit ourselves to Your merciful hands, and place our trust in You, and Your Loving Care. (Psalms 91; Matthew 7:7-8).
Have pity upon us and save us Abba-YAH According to Your Unfailing Love! Omein!
