Come now and look upon the works of the LORD, what awesome things he has done on earth. (Psalm 46:9)
Thanks that binds our attitudes and actions to the grace given us is fostered through regular praise to our Father for what we often overlook or take for granted. 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 and all those in your life, so that your thanks might be felt in our words and deeds.
Let us pray:
Father, the earth is Yours, for You have made it! We come adoring You!
How amazing, merciful Father, that we, Your Church, the very work of Your hands and Love, bound in the unity of the Spirit, show Your power among our neighbors, in our work places, city, and homes.
May joy and gladness be found in us, as You make and Eden out of the wilderness of our lives individually and together.
Father, thank you for caring the for lowly, comforting us, Your children, in every season.
May all the people from east to west, north to south, see in us and join with us in Your Kingdom come and will done on earth as it is in heaven.
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.
