Prayer for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost

O Lord our God,We believe, and so we speak.  We speak of your grace, as it extends out to the world around us.  We speak of thanksgiving, for you have done great things among us. 

We speak of your glory, because we believe that everything is for your sake; it is in you that we live and move and have our being.  You created us for yourself, so that our hearts are ever restless until we find rest in you.

Therefore, we do not lose heart; we believe, and so we speak.  By your grace, O God, let our worship today and the words we speak be guided and strengthened by your life giving Spirit, bringing our hearts ever closer to you, so that our lives might bring you honor and glory. Amen.

- Prepared by Michael Anthony Howard from 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1
