How has God been gracious to you?
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Psalm 67:1-2
Gracious God,
You have indeed been gracious to us and blessed us,
[Name ways he has been gracious to you and blessed you.]
You have made your face to shine your glory upon us,
[Name ways he has shone his glory on you.].
Help us not to hoard your many blessings,
for you have always intended for your glory
to make us fruitful,
to make us multiply.
Indeed, your blessings
of mercy and grace
and forgiveness
are meant to show others
(our neighbors, our friends, our co-workers, our enemies)—
“your way” (Psalm 67:2),
your generous,
steadfastly loving,
faithful
way.
[Name some ways you have seen God’s blessings spread to others through you.]
You have always intended
for our salvation stories
to lead people throughout the entire world
to see your “saving power among all nations” (Psalm 67:2).
[Name some ways others might see God’s saving power through your stories of redemption.]
How we look forward to that day
when all nations will “be glad and sing for joy” (Psalm 67:4),
when every ethnicity will praise
your justice and equity (Psalm 67:4).
Until that day comes,
we will praise you
and call all of the peoples of the earth
to praise you!
In Jesus’ generous name. Amen.
