PRAISE AND GLORY: PRAYERS OF PRAISE ENGAGING THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
DAY 37 - WEDNESDAY
God promises to all who trust in the gospel eternal
life in that kingdom which has no end.
You who are Alpha and Omega, the
Beginning and the End,
we praise You for your
faithfulness, from age to age,
as well as for the newness
that You bring, in surprising ways,
to situations that seem
changeless.
Because You are faithful and
because your imaginative creativity
eclipses all that we can
imagine,
we cling to your promise of
eternal life
with a mixture of dread and
delight.
We taste a bit of your
eternal realm now,
in the life of the Church, as
we worship You
with people who are diverse
in many ways,
yet are united by your Spirit
in a single body that lives for your glory.
We anticipate the full
revelation of your glory.
We rejoice that You will
abolish sorrow and tears,
and that You will dwell among
your people
in unbroken fellowship, with
great feasting
and jubilant song and
unending love. Amen.
