Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, Lord, we praise you for your coming to us in Jesus Christ, your Son our Lord; that we see in him something of your glory, your power, your sovereignty, your authority and your love. We praise you for his life, death and resurrection, which have opened our eyes to your grace and transformed our lives by your Spirit. We praise you for coming at all and for sharing our suffering and pain. We praise you for wanting to enrich our lives with your presence and to fill our joy with your glory. We praise you in the name of Christ Jesus.

Amen.
