Prayer
of Adoration and Praise
(based on 1 Corinthians 12:
12-31)
Spirit of the living God,
we praise and adore you for empowering us to claim membership of the body of
Christ, a gift received through the fullness of your grace. Empower us anew, we
pray, with tongues of fire and hearts of love to proclaim the reconciling word
among people. Remind us that we are all members of the one body and if one
member suffers, we all suffer. May we, as the body of Christ in this place, be
the best evidence of your love by declaring and witnessing to this as the year
of the Lord’s favour for all people. We give thanks that all of us are Christ’s
body, and rejoice in each one being a part of it. Accept our adoration and
praise for these great gifts, we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen
