Prayer for Friday

O Lord God, in exultation our hearts go out to you and your revelation of heaven, your revelation of the Spirit, who can fill our hearts with power and anointing so that we remain steadfast throughout our earthly life. It is still dark on earth. Sin and death hold sway, but we stand unafraid as we continue to seek repentance. In spite of all our failures we look to you and know you are our Savior. We know your promises are sure and steadfast. You send us Jesus Christ in your own glory. The world will be filled with his light. Everywhere on earth, even among those who do not know you, the sincere-hearted will come to acknowledge that you, the Father of Jesus Christ and our Father, are God over all the world. You will show your glory to all people so that they may come to you, worship you, and walk in the light, to the everlasting glory of your name and the name of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
