Lord, hear our prayer:

Exalted Lord, we praise you because you are so very great and because your greatness is beyond anything we can picture in our minds. We thank you not only for making the world but also for making us and giving us life. We thank you that you showed your love and care in a way that we could understand. In Jesus Christ you came and shared our world so that we might enter your kingdom. We praise you for his life, death and resurrection. We thank you that he called the disciples to follow him and to be with him. We thank you that Jesus called twelve men by name, and we praise you that you know us as well so very completely. You are our omniscient God and our Father. Thank you in Christ Jesus.

Amen.
