A Prayer about Meditating on the Wondrous Works of God

On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

Psalm 145:5

Our God and Our King,

Thank you for the words of Psalm 145

to give voice to our awe and gratitude 

at the wondrous works you have done. 

If we will pause to meditate, 

to chew on, 

to consider, 

to really think about…

YOU…

We will want to praise you, 

celebrate you, 

glorify you, 

in short…

tell everyone how great you are, 

so great that we can’t even figure you out, 

So great that we can’t even fully understand 

how great you are. 

And yet, we know your greatness 

when we see it, 

especially through your wondrous works—

Your mighty acts…[Name some of the Lord’s mighty acts in your life.] (Psalm 145:4)

Your glorious splendor…{Name some of the ways you see God’s splendor.] (Psalm 145:5)

Your awesome deeds…{Name some of the awesome deeds God has done.] (Psalm 145:6)

Your grace and mercy…[Name some of the ways you’ve seen God’s grace and mercy.] (Psalm 145:8).

Today, gracious and abundantly good God, 

we join with all of your works 

to give you thanks! (Psalm 145:10).

In Jesus’ righteous and loving name. Amen.

Read Psalm 145:1-13.
