This prayer was inspired by the song Our God by Chris Tomlin. 

How would you finish this sentence? Our God is…

Our God is Compassion and Love
Our God is Unending Grace and Mercy
Our God is Hope, Eternal and True
Our God is Mighty to Save
Our God is Holy
Our God is Everlasting to Everlasting
King of kings, Lord of lords,
Creator of Heaven and Earth
Our God is making all things new

Nothing can stand against our God
Nothing
No sin, no death
No evil, no injustice, no oppression
No doubt, no confusion, no need
Nothing can stand against our God
Nothing

So, God, we call on your Mighty Name
And we claim your promises
That we may stand and withstand and stand firm

Help us
Help us to stand in your truth and your grace
Help us to stand in what you name us, not what the world names us
Help us to stand in community, breaking down dividing walls
Help us to stand and withstand and stand firm

Great are You
Holy are You
Worthy are You
We love you and we honor you and we need you

Come
Come and open our ears and open our eyes and open our hearts
To your presence, your grace
Open us that we may be yours
