Prayers of the People
You are our eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them.
You still uphold and rule them by your eternal counsel and providence.
You are my God and Father because of Christ your Son.
You are eternal, incomprehensible, invisible, unchangeable, infinite, almighty;
completely wise, just, and good, and the overflowing source of all good.
I trust you so much that I do not doubt you will provide whatever I need for body and soul,
and you will turn to my good whatever adversity you send me in this sad world.
You are able to do this because you are almighty God.
You desire to do this because you are a faithful Father.
