O Lord –
Before the gods and idols of our lives, we give You thanks and sing Your praise with our whole hearts.
Our thanks and praise is for Your holy temple, Your name, Your steadfast love, Your faithfulness, Your word. For You are exalted about everything.
You answer us when we call and strengthen our souls. You regard the lowly and perceive the haughty. You preserve us when we walk in trouble’s midst. You stretch out Your hand and deliver us.
Fulfill Your purpose for us as You never forsake the work of Your hands.
In the name of the One who endures forever, we pray.
Amen.
