Father, You are glorious. The glory of creation belongs to You who thought it all up. You imagined it and planned it and brought it into being and it is all marvelous. The universe unfolds according to Your will and You work it all together for good for those who love You. Thank You for making us and putting us here. Thank You for our troubles because they are from Your loving hand and You know what You’re doing with them. You know how to make a man, how to grow us up to maturity and You do it perfectly.
The glory of Jesus Christ belongs to You. In Him You demonstrate absolute justice—perfect hatred of evil—and incredible love of Your people, love that takes the evil and justice upon its own head in order to save us. You crushed Him for our sins gave us His goodness. You gave us peace with You and glorious promises of life with You. Thank You.
You are most excellent Father; nothing else we desire is like You. Nothing else we fear is like You. Please make us desire and fear You above all things. Make us know You, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. We love You Father. Thank You. Amen.
