“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13
Alpha and Omega, Gentle Lion and Conquering Lamb,
Forgiver of our debts and Defeater of the evil powers in all times and all places:
We worship you and give you thanks, for yours is all blessing and honor and glory and might.
You are the strong God who became weak, so that we, who are weak, in placing our trust in you, might be made strong. In Jesus, we have cruciform victory.
Let us walk today in full freedom.
Freedom from sin and the powers that seek to enslave us.
Freedom to do your will.
Freedom to tell the truth.
Freedom to do what is just and right.
Freedom to boldly share the gospel.
Freedom to walk with you, as your beloved children.
We are free, because of the cross of Jesus.
Send us forth from this place filled with the Holy Spirit, rejoicing gladly.
Let us not be discouraged when we suffer, when we endure hardship, when we feel broken and defeated, for the victory is yours, and you have secured for us an inheritance that will never pass away, a place in your kingdom, and forever friendship with you.
You walk with us as we trod the path appointed for us.
We love you.
Increase our love for you. May this love abound.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
We pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
This prayer was offered in Truett Chapel on November 30, 2023.
