Dear Heavenly Father,
O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
We enter into your house of worship with praise and thanksgiving. We are humbled and grateful to be made in your image. We thank you with all our hearts, even as we shudder at the magnitude, for giving us the gift of life and entrusting us as stewards of your abundant creation.
Thank you for the promise of restoration in the wake of our inevitable missteps. Thank you for a church filled with grace and peace. Thank you for ears to hear. And thank you for reconciliation, forgiveness, and mercy as we follow the way of a God of love.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Comforter, Amen.
Amen.
Amen. Mims
