All Glory and Power

A Prayer to the Living God...


Father,


With every prayer, we pour out our thanks and praise for this day that you have wonderfully created. Regardless of the circumstance, Your children are able to rejoice and glory in the Cross. For no sorrow on earth could ever take away the inexpressible joy that is in our Salvation through Christ and Christ alone.

Lord, I am praying to thank You for Your great works. I am here on this earth to worship and delight in You.

Great and mighty Father, you have shown your children that there is nothing to fear on this earth. Help our unbelief when our worries cloud our judgment. Oh Lord, how I ask you to guide our thoughts that we may not fall into the darkened pit of distrust.

Yes distrust.

To not trust you, is a sin I long to never commit again. To not trust you, is to not trust the hand that has created all things. The same hand that formed the mighty sun and put the stars in their place. The same hand which hung the world on nothing and created all that dwells upon it. The same hand which holds this universe together and will not let it go until the time of His choosing.

Almighty God, I trust in You because You are God, and I am not.

You have never ever failed us. And our assurance is in Your Holy Word which declares that there is none like you. Your unfailing love and power truly is one of a kind. No one else has the power to control the universe through the sovereign will of their word.

Oh Sovereign Shepherd, Your flock is in need of desperate guidance. They are lost without You.

Father, the need for protection is great. Defend them from the dangerous enemy that wishes them harm. Lead them in their darkest of times. And guard them from themselves when their sin is ever present.

Your sheep call out to You, kind Lord. Show your lovingkindness and turn not Your ear from them.

Mighty King, Your strength is unmatched by all who oppose You. Grant us peace of mind and allow us to trust you.

I trust in You.

Lord, I offer You glory for all that You have done and ever will do. Indeed, I give You the glory!

Glory that was never meant for me...

Amen
