Honor and Eternity

Listen Now 

Opening Prayer

Lord Jesus, Light of light, you have come among us. The Lord is in our midst; he is mighty to save!

Scripture

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 "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."

Reflection

Holy Spirit, kindle the flame of our faith. Grow us in Peace. You govern all things in heaven and earth— grant us your peace all the days of our life.

Prayer

We declare along with the 24 elders.

Worthy are you our Lord and God, to receive all glory and honor and power.

We remember that we only exist because you will it.

We confess we often give glory to things outside of you, that we honor others above you, that we give power to those who are not worthy, or even worse, we attempt to take all of these things for ourselves.

Forgive us.

We repent.

We throw our crowns at your feet.

They are yours anyway.

Our only boast is in our weakness, for there you do your best work in us.

We eagerly await the day when Your will is truly done on earth as it is in heaven.

The Kings return. World without end.

Closing Prayer

Behold we are the servants of the Lord. Let it be to us according to your word. May we rest in the peace that the darkness can never extinguish the light that has been given to us.
