Mighty God, you are our creator and rescuer, and worthy of all praise. You have made us your people and lead us through the wilderness to your great kingdom. Thank you that you have brought us together as one body with you at our centre. Please help us to see that you have made yourself so near to us, at the very heart. Please help us to recognise you as the centre of all we are and do. May we be grow in joy because of your close presence with us and be fuelled to serve you with gladness. Thank you too, that we can experience your closeness even more because of what Christ has done, purifying our hearts so that you can live at our centre through your Spirit. Please shape us in your wonderful image.
Amen
