A prayer of praise

Psalm

86:8 None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord!

Your exploits are incomparable!

86:9 All the nations, whom you created,

will come and worship you, O Lord.

They will honor your name.

86:10 For you are great and do amazing things.

You alone are God.

Father, if we placed all the gods or objects of worship along side you, you out shine, out perform, and overwhelm the competition! Idols have eyes but can’t see, ears but can’t hear, mouths but can’t speak. You, on the other hand, not only see, but see perfectly. You not only hear, but hear everything. You not only speak, but speak truth.

What you have done and will do are without rival. You create life from lifelessness. Light from darkness. You make good come from evil.

There is no people group, (kingdom, country, dictatorship) that will not fall down before you in worship at some time in the future.

There is no system of thought (atheism, agnosticism, pantheism, polytheism,) or philosophy, that will not fall down before you and acknowledge that You alone are God.

Willingly or unwillingly, all will ultimately admit to your person and work as wholly different and exalted.

For you do great and amazing things! You make grace amazing. You make mercy amazing. You make love amazing. You make forgiveness amazing.

You have reached down; you have stooped low, to lift up unworthy sinners such as us. Yours is an amazing grace!

You alone are God!

These things I pray in the Name of your Dear Son, the Son of your amazing grace, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
