Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, you are far, far more wonderful than our words can ever say or our minds imagine. We praise you because you are the source of all that is good and true and free. It is your desire to fill our lives, our thoughts and our hearts with all your goodness, truth and love. We praise you that you are a God who longs to set all your creatures free – free, not to please ourselves, or make our own selfish plans, or seek our individual personal satisfaction, but free to be the people you always meant us to be from the very beginning. Lord, your offer of freedom begins with an empty cross, an empty tomb and the ‘emptying out’ of the Holy Spirit. In the life, death and resurrection of Christ you have demonstrated your power to set all things free. We praise you for the promise that we shall be with him; that in him we shall have all the resources of heaven and earth to enable us to praise you as you deserve. Lord, may the freedom you give us in Christ bring you endless glory. In the name of Christ, the one who sets us free.

Amen.
