Lord, hear our prayer:

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have come to worship you, to praise you and to honour your name. We thank you for the wonder and the joy of life; for every opportunity to serve you and to give you glory. Thank you that every time we think we understand who you are, you break the limits of our minds with your sovereignty. Every time we think we understand your ways, you astound us again with your majesty. Every time we think you are above and beyond us, you invade our hearts and minds. Every time we think we can reduce you to a size we can control, you slip through our grasp and leave us overwhelmed with your holiness and love. For loving us all the same, we praise and exalt you in Christ Jesus’ precious name.

Amen.
