Prayer for December 29, 2013 – January 4, 2014 
Sermon Text: Matthew 2:13-23
(Prayer written partly based on Psalm 148, which was the suggested text for the UCC for today)

That we will praise You in endless song

God of all creation, we gladly add our voices to the vast choir that sings your praise.  We rejoice in your presence along with heavenly beings and celestial bodies, with wild and domestic animals, with mountains and trees, with rulers and leaders, and with men, women, boys and girls of every nation.

You are our Creator and we rejoice in You.  Your name is greater than any other name.  Your glory outshines even the majesty of your creation.  You are faithful to your people and have raised up One who leads and delivers us in faithfulness, even Jesus, your Christ.

Enable us to trust You fully.  Enable us to follow Jesus with glad obedience. 

May our voices never be stilled, but may they ring out your praise in endless song.  We rejoice in You.  Amen.
