Prayer for Wednesday

Thank you, O Lord God, our Father in heaven, for gathering us together and opening a door which can be entered by all who are chosen to be your children. You open the door for all who have the childlike hope that you are carrying out your purpose and perfect will, that in the midst of the ruin and sin of world history, life remains, the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, life for all the world. No one can destroy this life, which will soon gather power until all people see him, Jesus Christ, who for the salvation of humankind is the same yesterday, today, and into all eternity. For his name is blessed and wonderful above all other names, the name of Jesus!

Amen.
