Prayer (Psalm 145:8-14)
Gracious and merciful Lord -
You abound in steadfast love and surround all of Your creation with compassion. You exude goodness and come slowly to anger.
May Your faithful ones do likewise.
May Your faithful ones thank You and bless You.
May Your faithful ones proclaim Your reign’s glory, power, and splendor - an everlasting reign that endures through all time.
May Your faithful ones live out Your reign by upholding all who are falling and all who are bowed down.
May Your faithful ones embody Your faithfulness and graciousness.
In the name of the One who is good to all, we pray.
Amen.
