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.
