From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised. – Psalm 113:3
God of Bounty and Providence, Father God of all Creation, we sing the joys of your Being, with great exultation, for we are your living creation, because you are our Omnipotent, Omnipresent, EverLiving God. You renew our lives with every new day, replenish our bodies, hearts and souls with manifold benefits and give us reinforced strength and favor to take us forward, in faith, on our path of life.
The resonation of our songs of praise should reverberate from end to end of the earth, extending into every niche and corner of the hemisphere, for your people fill the entire world and your presence is ever among us. We pray and call out praises through every hour of the day, for your graces and mercy are unending and inexhaustible and we experience your infinite love with every beat of our heart, every passing moment. Each new day is a gift from you, O Lord, and carries with it your promise of new and fragrant blessings.
All nature resounds with the glory of your Holy Name, for your Mighty Hand is saving, delivering, succoring, blessing and pouring out fresh favors to all who need you. Forgive us Lord, for the times we have overlooked your presence and attached ourselves to the world, forgetting our God. We thank and bless you for your gracious purpose and promise of bringing to all nations the knowledge of your Truth, revealed to us by our Messiah, and we glorify and honor you in Jesus’ name. Amen
