United Praise Ministries

Gracious and Loving Father,

We praise You, O God for You have blessed us richly.  You have given us a new house of worship and we praise You, the only true and living God.

Lord, we believe You have ordained and founded UPM for such a time as this. For we know that with You NOTHING is accidental, NOTHING is incidental and NO EXPERIENCE is wasted.

Show us Your glorious splendor and help us to be a display of that splendor - that others may know You and believe that You are He who sits mighty on the throne in the heavens.

We bless Your name for You are worthy.  We bring Major and Liz before you Lord as they take on this burden to minister to the saints, Your children, and to those who are bound in darkness.  This is an awesome responsibility and a very serious one as the spiritual nurturing of many will be helped by their obedience to You or hindered if they are not led by Your Spirit.

O God, show each of us Your way that we might successfully walk the narrow path of righteousness You have set before us.  We need your continual cleansing of our hearts and minds that we may serve You.  We agapao You, Lord.  Strengthen us, give us wisdom, courage, pleasant tongues, integrity and thankful hearts in our daily lives leaving every decision about UPM to You. Bring godly men and women who will serve You in spirit and in truth. Help us to know what part they will play at UPM.

Where You lead we will follow. We are Yours, Lord.  Whatever the cost may be, we know that You can use it for our good and Your glory.

We confess before You, Lord, that we do not feel worthy of this privilege, yet accept Your calling with gratitude that You have chosen us to be Your witnesses.

Thank You for Your Son Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  We need You for without You we can do nothing.  We would be nothing. We would have nothing.

So here we are Lord.  Send us to do Your will as we go forth UNITED in PRAISE in this MINISTRY.

We adore You our Father and we thank You in the Name of the One who chose to give His life as a ransom for many that we might live in You.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  AMEN!
