Ascension Day Prayer

O God, the king of glory –
You have exalted your only Son Jesus our Messiah
with great triumph into your kingdom in heaven.
You have shown that you are not only risen and alive, you are Lord.
You stand over and above all that is best in life as its source
You stand over all that is worst as ultimate victor
You stand above all powers and authorities as judge
You stand above all failure and weakness and sin as forgiveness and love
You alone are worthy of total allegiance, total commitment.
You are my Lord and my God.
We pray that you do not leave us comfortless
but send your Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us
Exalt us to the same place that our Savior Jesus has gone before us.
May we live and reign with you, our God, in a world without end.

Amen
