Praying with Paul: 'Good News for Planet Earth'

Wednesday, January 1, 2025

Romans 1:1-4

Dear Father, who commissioned the Good News to earth,

Thank you for the Good News for planet Earth which you promised through your prophets in the Holy Scriptures.

We love you for giving us this Good News about your Son, who, though he was descended from King David according to the flesh, was designated your Son, the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead.

We exult in thanksgiving for Jesus Christ, holder of all authority, in whose name we come. Amen.
