Spurgeon's Prayer: Worshiping the Risen Lord

In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
— Revelation 5:12 (BSB)

Jesus deserves the highest praise. We cannot praise Him too much; let us heap the altars of heaven with the sweet incense of our fervent worship.
— Charles Spurgeon

O risen Lord Jesus, we lift our hearts in worship to You today. Though You are no longer on earth, we imagine the shining path of Your ascension, rising through the gates of heaven to Your Father’s throne. Our souls envision You seated in glory, fully human and fully God, reigning over all creation for the sake of Your people.

Our hearts echo the heavenly song that rises at Your feet, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!" We join with all creation in saying, "Amen!" Though we are far from Your physical presence, we know that we are very close to Your heart. You see us through the crowds of heaven, and You hear our praises. Even our groans and sighs are dear to You because we are Your redeemed people, united with You.

Jesus, You are worthy of all our love and praise, for with Your blood You have ransomed us to God. You have made us kings and priests to serve our God, and we will reign with You. We long for the day when we can bow at Your feet in person and worship the Lamb who lives forever.

Until then, Lord, help us live as those who belong to You. May we honor You in all we do, reflecting Your glory in this world. We worship You, O Lamb of God, and we declare that all honor, power, and glory belong to You forever and ever.
