PRAY

Glorious sovereign God, our hearts overflow with joy for what you have done for us in Christ Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Once again, anticipating the celebration of his coming, we thank you for your providential care, and we praise your holy name forever and ever.

1 Chronicles 29:11–13

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
