Pastoral Prayer - Psalm 66

Pastoral Prayer —

Father in heaven,

Should we not shout joyfully to You our God? Should we not sing the glory of Your name? Should we not make Your praise glorious?

All that You have made is awesome! We will sing to You praise. We will glorify You this morning with our praise and worship. Grant us the grace to worship You in spirit and in truth. Enable us to worship You not only with our lips but with our very lives. You have made the mountains and the valleys, the hills and the trees. You have made the seas and the skies. You have made the fish, the birds, the animals and beasts of the field. You have made us to worship and glorify You. And You are worthy.

You truly love us. You move among us. From every people, from every tribe, from every nation, You have made for Yourself a kingdom of priest to bring You honor for which You alone are worthy.

You are worthy of all blessing, honor, and glory.

In the name above all name, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
