Opening Prayer for Ascension Day


    
Almighty God,
     as we prepare to worship today,
     we ask that you will stretch our imaginations
     to sense the majesty and mystery of your ascension.
     Help us perceive how Jesus' presence in heaven
     can give us confidence in our praying
     and hope for the future.
     Through Jesus, our Lord.
Amen.
