Praise God for His Excellence
Lord God, we thank You for Your moral goodness, virtue, and uprightness. Regardless of our blindness, we know You are perfect and worthy of our highest praise and adoration.
Prayer for Peace as We Think About God’s Character
Dear Lord, we come to You in humility, hungry for the truth of Who You Are: The Great I Am. We want to show the world Your glory in our classrooms and in our relationships with others. Help us keep our minds on Your all-knowing character so that we call on You for wisdom as we plan our lessons and interact with our students. Encourage our hearts by Your eternal nature so that we rest in You who remain King forever, and guide us to give You appropriate glory with all of our decisions. Lead us to cling to Your Word, the standard for truth. You have spoken, You are the only true God, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true. Keep us resting in this knowledge.
Lord, we also ask that we can view You as God Most High, exalting You and Your faithful love over all trouble, imaginations, and fears. Let us sing of Your righteousness and give You the glory You deserve. As we look to You, let us be happy in You, our Creator, who helps Your people and controls every earthly power. We know all things were created for Your glory and we can trust You when we don’t see earthly leaders acting with godly justice. Give us minds to think about Your incredible, self-existence. You are loyal to Your entire character and this gives us hope. Lead us beside the still waters of rest in our knowledge of You: the Great I Am, Who makes the dark as light and guides Your people in paths of peace.
Praise You for Your grace to Your people Lord. We are comforted by our adoption to You through Jesus. Your excellence far outweighs our ability to comprehend it. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
