Lord, hear our prayer:

Abba, Father, Lord, we worship you and we give you praise for the way you have surrounded our lives with your love and touched our hearts with your grace. We praise you that you did not leave us to struggle on our own or to try to find you by our searching. We praise you for the way you speak to us through your word and for the gracious way you listen to our prayers and to our cries for help and hope. We praise you and call you Sovereign, Savior, King, Shepherd, Master, Friend and Lord. We praise you that through Christ you have filled these names with an experience of your loving presence and power. We praise you too that you have given us the joy and the freedom of the Spirit through whom we give you all the glory. In the name of Christ our Savior and Lord.

Amen.
