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


DAY 26 - THURSDAY
God calls us into the church to proclaim the gospel to all the world.

Living and Victorious One,
You who have been given all authority in heaven and on earth,
You who have called us, as your followers,
to welcome and instruct others in your ways,
we celebrate and share good news
while we worship You in wonder and praise.
We rejoice that You have made us part of your story,
and that You instill us with hope and energize us for speech
that challenges, convicts, comforts, convinces and invites.
We thank You for opportunities to declare
what You have done to lead your people,
from bondage in sin, to freedom, holiness, justice and peace.
We rejoice that your Spirit gives us the words that we need
to witness and instruct as those opportunities arise. 
We rejoice that You seek to save all people from sin
and to welcome all into your fellowship. 
As others perceive your glory through our speech,
may we be united together in continuous praise.  Amen.

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:1-8; Mark 13:9-11; Luke 12:8-12; Romans 8:1-4
