A prayer for Worship by Calvin

Almighty God, You do not dwell this day in a temple of wood and stones, but the fullness of your glory dwells in your only begotten Son and He by His power fills the whole world, and dwells in the midst of us, and even in us. Grant that we may not dishonor the Lord’s sanctuary by our habits and sins, but so strive to set ourselves apart for your service, and that through the Name of Jesus Christ You may continually receive glory, until that day when we receive that eternal inheritance, and we see openly, face to face, that glory which we now see in the truth found in your Gospel. Amen. (adapted prayer by John Calvin from studies on Jeremiah, pg. 337)
