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
