Father
God, You are the Creator King, clothed in splendor and majesty. You are
the Sustainer of all that lives and of all that will endure forever.
Your works are great and many, the earth is full of Your possessions. In
wisdom, You created them all. Blessed are all whom You give eyes to
see, ears to hear, and hearts to believe through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who is Lord over all, and through Whom You
created all things that have been made, for apart from Jesus, nothing
was made that exists. And apart from Jesus, nothing will endure. Jesus
is the Author and Perfecter of the faith of all who are sanctified by
faith in Him. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing.
Our days
were written in Your book before one of them came into being, for You
are eternal, and Your knowledge is eternal. You know Your sons and
daughters before they are formed in the womb, for You are our Creator
and Your foreknowledge is perfect and eternal. All that You purpose,
plan, and promise, You bring about in Your perfect power, strength, and
time. You watch over Your Word to fulfill it, revealing Your glory and
power. Salvation belongs to You. What is impossible for man is possible
for You. For Your people were dead in sin. But now You have raised us up
with Christ by the Holy Spirit Whom You sent to give life through the
death, burial, and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
May You teach Your people to number our days aright, that we may gain
hearts of wisdom. May Your Word be a lamp unto our feet, treasured in
our hearts and dwelling richly in our minds, bearing fruit in and
through the saints who are faithful in Christ. May our hearts be fully
yielded to the Spirit's power, so that we may know and do Your will,
that which is pleasing to Christ, walking in truth and love. May we make
known the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, that many may be sanctified by
faith in Him, for this is Your will.
May You be glorified in
the Son through the lives of Your sons and daughters whom You have made
holy and whom You are bringing into glory through Christ. May You bless
and establish the work of Your servants' hands, strengthening us in the
Lord and in the Holy Spirit's power. May You send many workers into the
harvest whom are called and equipped. May Your blessing be upon Your
people.
In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
