Monday Morning: God Over All

O God All Sufficient, You have made and uphold all things by the word of Your power, darkness is Your pavilion, You walk on the wings of the wind; all nations are nothing before You; one generation succeeds another, and we hasten back to dust; the heavens we behold will vanish away like the clouds that cover them, the earth we tread on will dissolve as a morning dream;
But You are, unchangeable and incorruptible, forever and ever, God over all, blessed eternally.
Infinitely great and glorious are You.
We are Your offspring and Your care.
Your hands have made and fashioned us.
You have watched over us with more than parental love, more than maternal tenderness.
You hold our soul in life, and not suffered our feet to be moved.
Your divine power has given us all things necessary for life and godliness.
Let us bless You at all times and forget not how You have forgiven our iniquities, healed our diseases, redeemed our lives from destruction, crowned us with loving-kindness and tender mercies, satisfied our mouths with good things, renewed our youth like the eagle’s.
May Your Holy Scriptures govern every part of our lives, and regulate the discharge of all our duties, so that we may adorn Your doctrine in all things. Amen.
