Lord, we praise you for all of your mighty deeds, not just those from the past, but for those that are happening now as well as the ones that will come in the future. May we be ever alert to those mighty deeds that are happening in each of our lives and in the lives of others and may we always praise you and offer to you our alleluias.
We praise you for those holy moments that we have experienced in which you were made present to us in a very real way. Thank you for being a God who isn’t some remote and distant deity, but a God who is present with us on those walks in the park, while we are in the hospital room, when we are on our knees praying for a loved one who is struggling with a challenging situation, and as we are gathered on a Sunday morning in church.
And because you are a God who is closer to us than we can ever think or imagine, we lift up to you the many people who are on our hearts and minds this day including those on our church’s prayer list.
Lord, we praise you for all your mighty deeds; past, present, and future. May we always be generous in offering our praise to you.
Thank you for this Easter season in which we continue to celebrate the presence of the Risen Christ. Remind us that there is nothing that can ever separate us from your great love in Jesus Christ for we are your Easter people.
And Lord, even as we take a breath in this moment, we are reminded to offer our praise to you and to pray this prayer that Jesus taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
