Here’s a
prayer of approach and thanksgiving based closely on Mary’s song of praise in
Luke 1:46-55. It was written by Michael
Perry in Bible Praying.
Prayer of Approach
(based on Luke 1: 46-55)
Our hearts
praise you, O Lord,
our spirits
rejoice in God our saviour,
for you
have remembered us,
your humble
servants.
Mighty God,
we celebrate
the great
things you have done for us—
your name
is holy!
From one
generation to another
you have
shown mercy on those who honour you.
You have
stretched out your mighty arm,
scattering
the conceited,
confusing
their schemes.
You bring
down tyrants
and lift up
the lowly;
you fill
the hungry with good things,
but send
the rich away empty.
You have
kept your promises to us;
you have
come to our help;
you will
show your people your love for ever;
our hearts
praise you, O Lord. Amen.
