Prayer For Praising And Worshiping God
Loving Heavenly Father, You are our magnificent God and Your name is great in all the earth. You spoke the worlds into being and stretched out the heavens by the might of Your great power. You have established Your strength from everlasting to everlasting, and the heavens are the work of Your fingers.
You looked down in mercy and grace on the children of men, and sent the eternal Son of Your love to visit us and redeem us. We rejoice in Your gracious love and great compassion, and we joy in the God of our Salvation. We sing Your praises for ever and ever, for You alone are worthy to be praised and worshiped.
How excellent is Your wonderful name in all the earth, and how majestic are the works of Your hand. We will lift up our voices to proclaim You are the Lord and God of our Salvation, delighting to sing praises to Your holy name and to worship at Your feet. Praise the Lord for all the many blessings You have poured out onto all those that love You.
Praise the Lord forever and ever. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
We give you praise and worship your holy name. We ascribe to You the glory and honour that is due to You, for You are our God, You alone are our Creator our Lord and our Saviour, and You alone are deserving of our worship.
We worship You in the beauty of Your holiness and bow down before You in reverent praise, for You alone are worthy to receive all honour and glory and praise and blessing and worship.
Your power and Your majesty is seen throughout all the world, the works of Your hand are displayed in the heavens above, in the earth beneath and in the waters under the earth. You sit enthroned in circle of the heavens as our eternal King, and Your footstool is the foundation of the earth, which You have made. We are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, and You are our God. We worship You.
You picked us up out of the miry clay and clothed us in Your own robe of righteousness. You cleansed us of our sins and will wipe away every tear from our eyes. You give strength to the weak, help to the oppressed, give food to the hungry and comfort to those that are suffering.
We bless You for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life, but above all we worship and thank You for sending Your Son to be our propitiation, our Saviour who washed away our sins with His own blood. Words cannot express the wonder of Your love and grace, and we worship You forever and ever and ever,
Amen.
Father, we pray today in Jesus' name that You would send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide us, let them bring us to Your holy mountain to the place where You dwell. Then we will go to the altar of God, to God our joy and our delight.
(Psalm 43:3-4)
Father, as the deer pants for streams of water, so our soul pants for You, God, our soul thirsts for You. We hunger for You, Father, and we long to come and meet with You.
(Psalm 42:1-2)
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for all of those who have gone before and led Your people in worship. I praise You for their example. I praise You for Ezra and how he led Your people in worship after the temple was rebuilt. I praise You for the example of Your servant David and how he danced in the streets in worship of You. I pray that You would make my heart and the hearts of these people dance for You. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
For the joy of your presence
Changing and renewing us
Day by day,
We offer you our praise.
For the blessing you bring us,
The outpouring of your love
Day by day,
We offer you our praise.
For peace beyond understanding,
Blessd assurance
Day by day
We offer you our praise.
For the Word that endures,
Teaches and challenges,
Generation to generation,
We offer you our praise.
Son of God,
you love each one of us
as if there were just one of us;
those who have striven hard
to obey your commands,
those who have drifted here,
unsure of the path they trod,
those who are here simply
because of your grace,
individuals, all of us.
Son of God,
you love each one of us
as if there were just one of us,
how can we not sing your praises
for all that you have done. Amen
Like clay in the hand of a potter,
so we are to you, O Lord!
You take the imperfect
and make from it something new,
mould us into the image
of the people you would have us be.
In your hands we are restored,
perfected Lord, by you.
In your hands we are given new life,
made useful Lord, for you
