Our joint prayer

O Lord, Lord, King of the heavens, and Ruler of the whole creation, Holy among the holy, sole Governor, Almighty, give ear to us who have gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to worship You.

O Lord, You abide forever, Whose eyes are exalted, and whose chambers are in the air; whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended; before whom the army of angels stand with trembling, Whose Word is sure, and sayings constant; Whose ordinance is strong, and commandment fearful; Whose look dries up the depths, and Whose indignation makes the mountains to melt away, and Whose truth bears witness: hear, o Lord, the prayers of Your servants, and give ear to the petition of Your handiwork; attend to our words, please. O look not upon the sins of your people.

To You we do lift up our eyes, You Who sit in the heavens. O God of the fathers, and Lord of mercy, Who made all things by Your Word; and by Your wisdom You formed man, that he should have dominion over the creatures that were made by You, and rule the world in holiness and righteousness, and execute judgement in uprightness of soul; give us wisdom. Don’t reject us from among your servants, because we are Your servants.

God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give us a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You; having the eyes of our hearts enlightened, that we may know what is the hope of Your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of Your might which You worked in Christ, when You raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at Your right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. You put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things for the assembly, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

For this cause, we bow our knees to You, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that You would grant us, according to the riches of Your glory, that we may be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; to the end that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.

And this we pray, that our love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that we may approve the things that are excellent; that we may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

We ask You, our Heavenly Father, to fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may walk worthily of the Lord, to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of You, God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of Your glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy. We thank You, our Almighty Father, Who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; Who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love; in Whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through Him, and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things are held together. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body, the assembly, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him; and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the Blood of His cross.

Now to You, our God, Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to You be the glory in our assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen
