Lord, hear our prayer:

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we thank you that though you are a high and a holy God, you are not remote, unmoved or unfeeling, but you live in the hearts of your people. We praise you that through the life, death and resurrection of Christ you have made it possible for us not only to know you but also to hear your call to commitment and service. In Christ’s name, we give you praise.

Amen.
