Continuing With Thanks

“Wisdom…calls from the highest places…’Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight.’” (Proverbs 9:1, 3, 6)

Since we desire “to live,” to lead a life that follows the Way into abundance, let us continue with thanks, binding our attitudes and actions to the grace given us. This week, let this prayer script (adapted from Nan Doerr & Virginia Owens) be a means for letting your heart rest in the grace bestowed upon you, so that your thanks might be felt in our words and deeds.

Let us pray:

Father, we come in worship before the beauty of Your holiness. We come in adoration to You.

Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of Jesus’ redeeming work, and to follow daily in His holy steps.

For You have said to those who love You, “these I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:6-7).

Father, be merciful and bless and us. Spirit, show us the Light of Jesus and guide us in the countenance of grace upon grace.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God our Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all evermore.

Amen.
