"Worthy Are You..." - 21 February 2021
Truly,
LORD God, you made us not because you needed us. You made us not because you
were lonely and lacked love. You made us not because you needed us to scratch
some itch you had. You made us because you are love and goodness, and so
desired to give and lavish that love and goodness on us! Therefore, with the 24
elders and creatures that surround your throne, we adore and worship you: “Worthy
are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you
created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Revelation
4:11). Hear us now, O Lord, as we pray:
For
the peace and security of all the nations of this world, including Ecuador,
Peru, Ethiopia, and Tanzania we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer;
give ear to the words of our mouth (Psalm 54:2).
For
the safety and godly direction of the President of these United States, our
Legislators, and judiciary, we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer;
give ear to the words of our mouth.
For
the wellbeing and achievement of the State of Oklahoma, our counties, cities
and townships, we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the
words of our mouth.
For
fitting and seasonable weather and rain, the abundance of the fruits of the
earth, the recovery from these winter storms, and the speedy end to this
pandemic, we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the words
of our mouth.
For
the strength and recovery of the older ones, infirm, sick, and suffering ones,
we pray to you Lord (…). O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the words of
our mouth.
For
the deliverance of the poor, oppressed, unemployed, destitute, prisoners, and
captives, we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the words
of our mouth.
For
the shalom and goodness of God to flood our lives and keep us steady and sturdy
when we are anxious and fearful, we pray to you Lord. O God, hear our prayer;
give ear to the words of our mouth.
For
the salvation of those who are still dead in their trespasses and sins, and for
the rescue of those who have forgotten their Savior, we pray to you Lord (…).
O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the words of our mouth.
For
the church throughout the earth, this congregation, Edmond Church of Christ,
Sooner East Church of Christ, Southwest Church of Christ, and 24th
St. Church of Christ, we pray. May we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus
Christ our Lord. O God, hear our prayer; give ear to the words of our mouth.
All
