For the Sake of Your Glory

Father, we praise your Son. The one and only Son that you have highly exalted and given the name that is above every name. And, with hearts that have been enlightened to his glory, we bow and gladly confess that Jesus is Lord.  
 
For this is why you created and why you providentially work throughout history, and why you sent your Son… that we might see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

So, we praise you as the one who spoke everything into existence, and as the one who upholds everything by word of His power – trusting that everything that occurs is for the sake of displaying your glory and your might and your beauty and your perfection.

Open our eyes to your beauty; cause us to see you more clearly; satisfy us with your steadfast love, that we might rejoice and be glad all our days.

For those who are discouraged, who’s souls are in turmoil, cause them to hope in You, knowing that you are their salvation and their God.

Oh Lord, in light of your perfection; strengthen us to trust in your ability to work all things for our good. Help us to taste and see that you are good, and that those who take refuge in you, are blessed.

Thank you, Father, that you have made known to us the path of life, and that in your presence there is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. We believe this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
