O Lord our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!!!

We thank you, God, that You are not just one god (lower case “g”) among many. Instead, You are the ONE TRUE GOD, and there is none like You. Since the start of this world, You have been making Your name great on this earth and drawing to Yourself men, women, and children from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. You are worthy of our affection, praise, and adoration, and not our adoration alone, but the worship of all who are created in Your image.

It was Your good plan to have humanity scattered and diversified across the earth so that they might return to You a symphony of harmonic praise through all the land, and yet, with their distant locations, there are still many who have not heard of Your greatness. Dear Lord, we thank You that You have included us in Your mission of introducing the people of the earth to Yourself, which is truly good news of great joy for all the people. Dear Lord, we pray that we would be faithful with the call to not only introduce You to those in our city, state, and nation, but also to those living among unreached people on the other side of the globe.

While we wait for Your return, we know the task is yet unfinished of evangelizing the earth, so we commit anew to the mission You gave Your church until the end of the age - to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in Your name and teaching them to obey all that You have commanded. We long for the day when all the nations will truly be glad in You.

We pray this in Jesus' mighty name, AMEN
