memorial day prayer

Almighty & everlasting God
heaven is your throne
earth is your footstool
holy and reverent is your name

you are worshipped
in the company of the mighty angels and saints on high
and in the
assembly of your people here on earth
how thankful we are for
your grace that has made us a part of that assembly, that we may
lift our praise to you this morning.
The God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob
The God of moses and the prophets --- the God who has finally and
fully revealed Yourself in our Lord, JESUS CHRIST, our blessed mediator,

thru whom we are bold to approach unto you

forgive us our sins, and grant us your grace that we may serve you
ever more fully .

We live in dangerous times and we pray
for the pacification of iraq for the
end of genocide in darfur
we pray that our blessed mediator who sits at your right hand may so exercise
the kingdom of his power in all the world as may best induce to these ends:
that the gospel may go forth with freedom and with power and that your
people may be gathered to you from the ends of the earth
equip us, we pray, to serve you in our generation. --Prayer by David
