Remind us, Lord,
to make our requests –
our prayers,
intercession,
and thanksgiving –
for everyone,
including our leaders
and all those in authority,
so we may live
peaceful,
quiet,
godly,
holy lives.
Surely this pleases You,
God our Savior,
for You want everyone
to be saved
and come to know
the truth in You.
You alone are God,
and we have One
mediator between You
and other people –
the One, Christ Jesus,
Who gave Himself
as a ransom for us
and everyone.
from the Book of Bible Prayers
Someday, Lord, people who do not belong
to You will learn of You.
Your Name will draw them from distant lands
for they will hear of Your great Name and strength.
And when they pray in Your presence, hear them
from heaven where You live, and grant what they ask.
Then all people on earth will eventually come to
know and awe You as Your people do now!
They, too, will see the sanctuary honors Your Name.
