Prayer - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Heavenly Father,

How great are you, loving God, and greatly to be praised. We join together with our church family in worship of you, grateful for your redeeming love and abundant mercy.

We turn our hearts to you, Jesus, and hope to make more disciples for you to strengthen your church here on earth. Walk beside us, precious Lord, giving us direction and unyielding support in our journey.

Holy Spirit, fill us with your presence. Make us bold warriors of the faith with the courage to share our testimony with others. Help us be beacons on light in a world where darkness threatens to overwhelm so many who don’t know you.

We claim the words of the hymn writer as our own:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

In the holy name of Jesus Christ our beloved Savior we pray, Amen.
