Ezra 6: 19-23: Marvels – Part IV
Sunday, November 19, 2023
We remember well the marvels the Lord has done for us.
We remember that the Lord has returned us from exile.
We join the whole crowd as we rejoice at the splendid deeds done by the Lord.
We tell the world that with great joy we celebrate for it is the Lord who has made us joyful.
We tell the world that we are so full of joy that we will keep the feast.
And so we pray.
Good and generous God, you have brought us back from the darkness that haunted us, and you remind us that we are “people of the “presence”.
Good and gentle God, you have seen our plight that marginalized us, and you have come to redeemed and heal us.
Good and courageous God, you have heard our prayer of worry and fear, and you have answered us with your miracles great and small.
Good and bold God, you have seen how we struggle with the storms of life, and you have done great things for us that are marvels in our lives.
Good and strong God, you have helped Ezra and Nehemiah to rebuild the Temple and now you build a Temple within each of us.
For these marvels and wonders we give thanks. For the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we rejoice. For your holy presence we celebrate. Amen.
