Prayer
(based on Psalm 46)
God
our Father, we worship and thank you,
for
you are our refuge and our strength.
You
are our help in times of trouble.
Therefore
we will not be moved
though
the earth be moved and the mountains be piled into the sea;
though
the nations roar and the peoples be in tumult,
we
will not be moved.
For
through Christ and the Spirit
you
have made a river of life that makes us glad.
You
have saved us and gathered us
and
made us your holy city, your tabernacle.
You
dwell in our midst; therefore we shall not be moved.
By
your presence you help us; just at the break of day you save us.
We
behold your works, and we praise you.
You
make desolations in the earth.
You
make wars to cease.
You
break the bow and cut the spear in two
and
cast the chariot into the fire.
You
are God and God alone.
You
shall be exalted in your people;
you
shall be exalted in all the earth.
Receive
our worship and our thanks
by
the Holy Spirit and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
whom
we worship with you,
and
who with you live and reign above,
world
without end. Amen.
