Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, most holy and sovereign, we praise you for the hope, joy and faith that you have given to us and the love with which you have surrounded our lives. We praise you that your purposes for us and all your creation are certain and your love for us is free. We praise you that nothing, but nothing, will ever stop you loving us and nothing, but nothing, will ever defeat your grace. We praise you that you lift us out of our despair, you give us ever more reasons to worship you and you fill us with the Holy Spirit so that our words and deeds and lives may bring you glory. In the name of Jesus Christ who makes all things new.

Amen.
