Prayer Mondays: Jungel

Almighty God, dear heavenly Father,
You are worthy of praise, you who so wonderfully created the world,
crowning it with human beings. You preserve the heaven and the
earth. Every morning you give into our hands the work of your
hands—though we shamefully misuse it.
You entrust to us the world that we might live on earth in peace and
joy. Not we, eternal Creator and fatherly Preserver—not we, but you
are worthy of praise. We praise you!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and Light from eternal Light,
You are to be praised by all the world, for you have borne and broken
through the darkness of our sins. Your death took away the power of
death. Raised from the dead, you broke through the darkness with
which we so often and so furtively darken our own lives and those of
others. You are and remain the Light of Life: the light that illumines,
the light that warms, the light that guides our way—highly to be
praised in time and eternity!
God, Holy Spirit,
You glorious bond of unbreakable love between heaven and earth!
You come to people who are unable to praise. You open closed ears
and touch embittered hearts. You renew what we make old. Come,
Holy Spirit, you unsettling Spirit, move and free our hearts so that we
heartily praise you, so that all of us, in thanks and prayer, entrust
ourselves to you, the Spirit, the Son, and the Father: our God.
Amen
