Prayer for May 19-25, 2019
Sermon Text: Revelation 21:1-6
That we may hold You in our first and final thought today
Creator God, we rejoice that You have begun your new creation through
Christ Jesus. We rejoice that multitudes, through the centuries, have gotten a
taste for the newness that will exceed our most vivid imagination.
We imagine a world that is ordered and beautiful. We imagine a world in
which chaos no longer hampers and harries us. We imagine, most of all, You,
settling among us as Sovereign, but also as Best Friend and Nearest Neighbor
and Most Compassionate Comforter.
We anticipate, with joy. the removal of grief – of death, morning, crying
and pain. We anticipate, with hope, deep draughts of refreshing water from springs that will never fail.
We believe that your promise is “trustworthy and true,” and we live for
You and for the day when all will acknowledge that You are Alpha and Omega,
Beginning and End.
You are our first and final thought this day. We praise You with
unquenchable joy. Amen.
