Here’s
an opening prayer from the My Redeemer
Lives website.
Opening Prayer
(inspired by 2
Corinthians 5: 6-17)
Creator
and Ruler of the Earth,
we
lift up our voices, our eyes, our hearts,
our
lives to You in praise.
Make
us Your alleluia people.
Uphold
the weary,
for
whom praise may be very difficult.
Humble
the strong, for whom "alleluia" may be too easy.
Creator
and Ruler of the Earth,
continue
to form us into Your new creation,
that
we might welcome You to more fully become
the ruler of our hearts and minds.
Through
Him who came as a servant,
and
who now reigns over all creation,
Jesus,
our Christ. Amen.
