Here’s the congregational invocation prayed this past Sunday at the church Pete and I attend:

Lord Jesus, Savior and King, speed the coming of Your Kingdom to the ends of the earth.  By Your powerful grace, draw the world to willing obedience to Your reign.  Overcome the enemies of Your Kingdom.  Rescue what sin has laid waste, and repair the desolations of many generations, that the widerness may rejoice and the cities be made glad with Your Law.  Rain down righteousness bringing salvation to the nations. As the waters cover the sea, so may the knowledge of Your glory fill the earth.  Amen.
