OPENING PRAYER<\/strong>:<\/strong> <\/sup>1<\/sup> <\/sup>Prayer for Christ the King Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Jesus, You are the King of Glory, You are the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. And we pray that your Kingdom will reign forever in our hearts and in this world.

Lord, we pray for your Kingdom to come here now, bringing a kingdom of justice, righteousness, hope, love, peace, mercy and grace for all. Lord, we ask that you rule in our hearts, lead in this world and govern over your kingdom.

But Lord honestly, We often have our own plans and agendas and we want to be rulers of our world. Forgive us for those times. And Lord we live in a time that would rather idolize the King of Pop than worship you. Help us to know how to live as your Kingdom People in these times. And Lord there are a lot of Kings in this world who terrorize, over tax, humiliate, over exploit, and abuse those they are to lead. Help us to spread the good news of the different kind of King you are.

Lord, thank you for being a different kind of King. Thank you for your goodness and kindness in our lives. Thank you for your generosity.
Thank you for loving us. Thank you for your Kingdom that is unlike any
Kingdom in this world.\u2014 Rev. Abi, on her <\/strong>Long and Winding Road<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
