I just loved this prayer and had to share it!

Lord, you do not change; you are always there, and you always will be.
We praise you for your greatness, which holds our smallness; for your majesty, which was once clothed with our humanity; for your sovereignty, which embraces our frailty; for your holiness, which exposes our sinfulness; for your wholeness, which heals our brokenness; for your glory, which fills our emptiness; for your love, which gives us life; for your Son, who claims us for his own; for your Spirit, who empowers us for worship, witness, and service.
Lord of all time and space and all things, we praise you that in Christ you came and shared all that life means to us so that we, by your grace, might enter into all that heaven is with you.
We have come to praise you for the coming of Christ our Savior and the Savior of the world.
In his name. Amen.

And another one:

Lord, we praise you for your creative love and the compassion that all but overwhelms us.
We praise you for your love that was the source of all creation and for your grace that is forever seeking the lost, the broken, the defeated, and the forgotten.
We praise you for the way your mercy clothes your justice, and your forgiveness cleanses our sinful, selfish lives.
We praise you for your love that we have met in the life of Jesus Christ and for your truth that gives us solid hope.
We praise you not only that Jesus lived our life and entered into our earthly pain, but also that through his death and resurrection he has assured us that the past has already been dealt with and the future is safe in your hands.
We praise you for the coming of the Holy Spirit, who holds our lives and transforms our attitudes.
We praise you for the way you fill our minds with your word and our lives with your service.
We praise you that, though your majesty, glory, and authority mean that it will never be possible to know you completely in this life, the mystery of your sovereignty will always inspire us to worship you.
We praise you that in Christ you have revealed enough of your love and holiness, your grace and your authority, to enable us to know you as Savior and call you Lord.
We bring our praise in the name of Christ, sovereign Lord of all things forever. Amen.

Aren't they great? Here's another one I just loved too:

Lord, we praise you because you have shown us that you are not a dead hero to be honored and respected, who cannot share our lives today.
We praise you not only because you died to be our Savior but also because you rose again to be our Lord, that you were not only raised from the dead but also you are alive and present with us and you are our living Lord.
We praise you for the sense of peace, hope, joy, and meaning with which your presence fills our lives.
Lord, without you we would be lost, alone, and without hope.
Without your presence in our midst our worship would be empty, our Christian lives a meaningless experience, and our witness and service a pointless sham.
We praise you for your appearances to your disciples in their ordinary moments of life and in their everyday lives.
We praise you too for the way you have come to men and women through the centuries and that you have come into our lives too.
Lord, because you are alive and in the midst of all we say and do and are, you enable us to declare the good news with joy and hope and to do it for your glory. Amen.

Here's yet another fantastic one:

Lord, we praise you for the way you far exceed the limits of our minds.
Your mercy takes our breath away and your love knows no bounds.
We praise you for your glory, which is utterly beyond our imagining and for your goodness, which sustains the whole universe.
We praise you for your majesty, which leaves us speechless and your sovereignty, which gives us courage.
We praise you that you are not simply one god among many but that you are the one and only true and living God.
We praise you because you are the one who had no beginning, and we worship you because you have no end.
Your power stretches from one end of eternity to the other.
Before the world was made, before there was anything to be seen, before a sound was heard or a color excited the senses, you were God.
Before an idea was given shape, before a thought was set in motion, before time began, you were God.
Before there were seas and oceans, mountains and valleys, streams and rivers, plants and animals, before we came to be, you were God. Always and forever God, and we praise you.
We praise you for creating us in your image and giving us the desire to create and the ability to think, to plan, to choose, and to love.
Wonderful God! We praise you for your love showered over the whole of your creation and made flesh in Jesus Christ who came, lived, died, and was raised to life as a sign of your love.
We praise you that your love has reached out to our own hearts and lives and, through your Holy Spirit, is changing us and making us into the people you always meant us to be.
We praise you, and in Christ we give you all the glory. Amen.

And another:

Lord, you are far, far more wonderful than our words can ever say or our minds imagine.
We praise you because you are the source of all that is good and true and free.
It is your desire to fill our lives, our thoughts, and our hearts with all your goodness, truth, and love.
We praise you that you are a God who longs to set all your creatures free—free, not to please ourselves or make our own selfish plans or seek our individual personal satisfaction, but free to be the people you always meant us to be from the very beginning.
Lord, your offer of freedom begins with an empty cross, an empty tomb, and the “emptying out” of the Holy Spirit.
In the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, you have demonstrated your power to set all things free.
We praise you for the promise that we shall be with him, that in him we shall have all the resources of heaven and earth to enable us to praise you as you deserve.
Lord, may the freedom you give us in Christ bring you endless glory.
In the name of Christ, the one who sets us free. Amen.

Ang: I thought I had an account under "Ang" (I think since 2015) but then when this forum switched to ProBoards I lost access. :( Been awhile. So finally made a new account. What happened? However, maybe it was another Christian forum that I lost the url to. Jun 24, 2023 10:20:10 GMT -5 *
