A Prayer Of Exaltation For Christ Our King
“He (Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether
thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were
created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things,
and in Him all things exist. And He is the head of the body, the
church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that
in all things He may have the preeminence.”
Colossians 1:15–18
You are the eternal Word made flesh, the only begotten of the
Father — truly God and truly man. As ministering servant, You
lived to show us the Father’s heart by loving the lost, healing
the sick, comforting the lonely, driving out demons, and,
ultimately, suffering and dying for our sins on the cross so we
might experience newness of life in You. Through Your death
and resurrection, we too are raised to new life again. You are
the eternal Savior and mediator of humanity, bringing us to
the Father and interceding for us in heaven at the right hand
of God. Jesus, You are head of the church — Your body and
beloved bride. We ask that You guide us in the paths that lead
to life eternal. Holy Spirit, renew us daily that we might reflect
our true self, created in the image of God in Christ. We ask in
the name of Jesus, the Christ. Amen.
