Prayer – Day 6 in Lent – Very Rev. Prof. Kọ́nyinsọ́lá Àjàyi, SAN

*10th day of March – 6th day of Lent – ADORATION*

Give ear, O heavens, as I say my adoration to God Almighty, the Rock, Whose work is perfect; Whose ways are justice; God of truth, The Only Righteous One, the Great Creator, the Ancient of days Who shakes the earth, Who made the seas by His heavenly decree; the King that dwells in heaven with the world as His footstool; the Immovable Rock worthy of worship; the Omniscient, the Omnipotent, the Most Gracious, the Greatest Excellency; God that can neither be carried nor lifted, that is resplendent in honour and greatness – I adore You and magnify Your Holy Name.

Loving God by whose words and decree my present is – and my future more glorious – I worship You.

Hear, O earth, the praise words of my mouth; let my adoration drop as the rain; my praise and worship distil as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass – as I proclaim the Name of the Lord: and ascribe greatness to Him for He is worthy to be adored and praised.

Lord God, Who through the Holy Spirit manifested in my life, I give thanks with everything saying – *God, the Authority in Heaven and Earth, the indisputable Commander, the Mightiest One Who dwells in the graceful heart of the Believer – I adore You and magnify Your holiness.*

O Holiness, God Almighty, the sustainer of the universe, He that covers Himself with all that is good, Who spreads His honour all over me, and all that is mine, I praise You, I adore You, I worship You and shall magnify You in all ways, and will do so all my life and in all I do, and abstain from doing, and in all I say and refrain from saying, by the special grace of Jesus Christ, in Whose Name I pray.

Amen.

*Bible Passages* for *ADORATION*

2. *Psalm 8:1*

*_“O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!”_*

3. *Revelation 4:11*

AMEN.
