Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord, our Father, we praise you for reaching out for us and welcoming us home and for making us your sons and daughters; for the rest, refreshment and hope with which you promise to fill our lives; for the assurance that we will share in the joyful celebration of your creative love and fill the universe with your glory. We praise you here; we praise you now; we will praise you everywhere we go, as long as we live. We will praise you eternally in ever increasing joy and worship with Jesus Christ our Lord and King.
Amen.
