In Him We Live and Move and Have Our Being

The purposes of this prayer are: Glorify God/Worship, Illumination and Gratitude.

God of creation, we would not exist without your acts of creation. Paul addressed the citizens of Athens, saying, “The God who made the world and everything in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made of human hands, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things. From one ancestor he made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence, and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him- though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For ‘in him we live and move and have our being;’ as even some of your own poets have said.” Acts 17:24–28 (NRSV). We pray that we find you, Lord. Amen.
