Join in with this prayer from the worship service on May 31, 2026. It was said after singing the praise song “Stronger” by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan.
Lord God the Almighty,
we just sang that you are Stronger.
Stronger than what?
You, King of souls, are stronger than the hate

that cackles and threatens and intimidates.
You, King of wholeheartedness, are stronger than each and every one of us
–which is great news–because your grip is firmly holding us,
even when we feel like we’re barely holding on.

Some of our actions.
Some of our time.

renovate us under your strong, strong arm,
that we might live each new day knowing you,
not as Lord of some, but as Lord of all.
All these things we pray in the majestic name of Jesus, King of kings,
and together with the words he taught us to pray, saying:
