Here’s a prayer
of praise and adoration from John van de Laar.
The God Who Serves
Though you are
God,
with all the
influence and status that the name implies,
you refused to
pull rank,
and parade your
power among us.
Instead, you
chose to step down into our experience,
living among
us, as one of us,
with all the
struggle and suffering
that goes with being
human.
More than that,
you adopted the role of slave,
washing feet,
serving people of no reputation or social standing,
and giving of
yourself completely.
As incredible
as it sounds,
you are the God
who serves,
and we can
respond in no other way
than to give
ourselves to you in praise.
Amen.
