Let Us Pray Quotes

“Love for a Fallen World Father, we praise you that no matter the depth of our sin, your love can reach down and lift us up; no matter the hurt and pain we feel, your love holds us and heals us; no matter how far we wander from you and your will for our lives, your love still reaches out to find us and bring us home. We praise you that your love far exceeds our guilt, that though, in Christ’s death on the cross, you have made clear the enormity of our sin, you accept us as we are. You never allow us to become satisfied with the lives we live and the things we say and do, but you are always seeking to lift us up and make us new and make us whole. We praise you most for your utter determination that we should be free—free to choose, free to live, free to praise, and free to serve. We praise you for the freedom that comes to us in Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.”

“Lord, your offer of freedom begins with an empty cross, an empty tomb, and the “emptying out” of the Holy Spirit. In the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, you have demonstrated your power to set all things free. We praise you for the promise that we shall be with him, that in him we shall have all the resources of heaven and earth to enable us to praise you as you deserve. Lord, may the freedom you give us in Christ bring you endless glory. In the name of Christ, the one who sets us free. Amen.”

Lord, we allow so many things to become obstacles between ourselves and you and your living presence. Touch our lives with your love, and flood our worship with your Holy Spirit that we may offer Spirit-filled praise to you in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
