PRAISE AND GLORY: PRAYERS OF PRAISE ENGAGING THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
DAY 38 - THURSDAY
Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God. Amen.
O Enduring One, You who are
called Ancient of Days,
You who make all things new, You
who are the First and Last,
the Initiator and Fulfiller
of all things,
we worship and praise You with
one voice.
We bless your name for we
have been abundantly blessed by You.
We have seen grace multiplied
by grace and we rejoice in You.
We give You honor, knowing
that only You are worthy,
only You have shown yourself
wholly true and wholly faithful.
Your glory endures,
outweighing all other glories,
shining forth in your
creation and in the merciful acts
by which You have shaped us
as your people,
who once had been no people,
who were,
instead, enemies with hearts
hardened against You.
By your own choice and
action, your effective ability,
You have whirled words into
worlds,
built and toppled dynasties,
shaped history for your purposes,
defeated all opposing powers
at the cross,
and brought forth your Chosen
One as firstborn from the dead.
We rejoice that by that
resurrection power
You raised us to new lives of
faithfulness.
We cannot praise You enough,
but we sing and say our
praise with endless gratitude. Amen.
