Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we praise you. We praise you that you Son has become the very focal point for every part of our lives and for the fulfilment of Scripture in him. In his life on earth, his death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead, he gathered up and completed all that, down the centuries, you had promised. We praise you for the assurance in him that no matter the trials and problems we face today, we like him will share in your promise of the ultimate victory of your purposes for all your creation. In the name of him whose life and presence fulfils your word.

Amen.
