ASCENSION PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

Great and mighty God,

We praise you that Christ has ascended to rule at your right hand.

We rejoice before the throne of his power and peace, for he has put down tyrannies that would destroy us and unmasked idols claiming our allegiance.

We thank you that he alone is Lord of our lives.

By your Spirit give us freedom to love with his love and to embrace the world with his compassion.

Accept the offering of our lives,

that we may obey your commands to serve

in the name and for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
