Praise for God's Glory

Father, we praise you today for your unrelenting pursuit of us.

We praise you for your unembarrassed love for us.

We praise you for your unconditional acceptance of us.

We praise you for your incomprehensible mercy toward us.

We praise you for your unmitigated understanding of us.

You know us better than we know ourselves, yet you pursue, love, accept, show mercy, and understand us.

As we remember these elements of your glory; as we behold, with unveiled faces, as in a mirror, Your glory, we are being transformed into that same image from one glory to the next, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

So that, as we praise you, we become more like you, multiplying the praise that transforms the lives of others, that in turn multiplies your glory even more.

In this way, may the whole earth be full of your glory!

In the Good name of Jesus Christ, your Son,

Amen.
