Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we thank you that you are real and not simply a figment of our imagination and that you have demonstrated the reality of your presence in the life and passion of Christ. We thank you that you are the kind of God who is never far from us. You have shown us in Jesus that we do not have to go in search of you and that it is not possible for us to find you by our own efforts. You are too wonderful, too mighty and too glorious to be found by weak, insecure and finite beings like ourselves. Though you demand that we should be perfect, just like yourself, you do not expect us to reach those heights on our own. In Christ you have dealt, once and for all, with our past mistakes and weaknesses. For your glory through Christ Jesus, thank you.

Amen.
