PRAISE AND GLORY: PRAYERS OF PRAISE ENGAGING THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST STATEMENT OF FAITH


DAY 36 - TUESDAY
God promises to all who trust in the gospel the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing.

Always faithful God, we take courage from Jesus’ promise
that he will never leave us or forsake us.
Indeed, we praise You because your Spirit has been
our constant companion and guide
for all the days and all the miles of our journey in faith.
In your presence
we have faced even the darkest valley with boldness.
In your presence we have discovered comfort
in the midst of crushing circumstances that pushed us toward despair.
In your presence we have found clarity
when everything seemed chaotic and confusing.
We have also known overwhelming joy
as You have given us moments
of heightened awareness of your nearness,
and as we have walked and worshiped
with other companions on the journey
whose faith nurtured and challenged our own.
O Faithful Companion, in your nearness You have given us
the deepest desire of our hearts.
We will never cease worshiping you,
But will glorify your name with the best of our energy.  Amen.

Scripture: Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20; Psalm 23, 37:4, 145:19; 2 Corinthians 1:3-11
