Prayer of Salvation: Isaiah 12

Many parts of the Bible present short, easy-to-memorize prayers. In this post, I'd like to turn to Isaiah 12. The preceding chapter, Chapter 11, contains an important Messianic prophesy. Following that phophesy, Chapter 12 presents a beautiful prayer. Here are verses 1 and 2 from that prayer (ESV),
I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
    that you might comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation.
That's a short, easy-to-memorize prayer, and it applies to anyone who accepts God's salvation.
