Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe, for indeed our God is a consuming fire. [Hebrews 12:28-29]
LET US, GOD’S PEOPLE, PRAY

We pray especially for: add your own petitions

brighten, and fill us with Your holy fire, to shine within us and transform our
thoughts, words, and actions into continual, awe-filled, living worship. We ask

Divine Sanctifier; who together with You, reign as One God, now and forever. Amen.
