A prayer

Heavenly Father,

Praise and worship are why we are here.
Praise and worship are what you deserve.
You are the only one who has earned worship.
We live in a world where many people and things are worshiped: the rich and riches, the powerful and power, the beautiful and beauty, the successful and success, the strong and strength, the independent and independence…

But none of these people or things has earned worship.

Only about you can it be said, You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, since you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created!

Only about your Son can it be said, Worthy is the lamb who was killed
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!


Only about you can it be said, For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise, he is more awesome than all gods.

As the only worthy one, we offer the gifts and sacrifices of our bodies, our very lives. It is all yours.

Wash it, purify it, receive it for your own Glory.

In the good name of your worthy Son,

Amen
