Almighty God,
Come O God, come. Come to us and anoint us with your good Spirit. You have promised that you will draw near to those who draw near to you. You will exalt him whose heart is humble. You will do whatever we ask when we petition you in your name.
So hear our prayer today: Let us abide in your presence. Let us find a home at your side and a place at your feet.
O how we envy the angels, for they stand before you night and day. We are jealous of those saints who have passed from this earth and do now worship you in heaven. For they gaze upon your holiness and bask in your infinite splendor.
But though we cannot have the fullness of what they have, we pray that we might be able to partake of a portion of it. We pray that your presence would still be manifested among us. O that we might taste of the heavenly kingdom and worship you in the power of your grace.
For this we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
