RJ Rushdoony prayer trifecta from a typical lesson (Authority and Ministry):
Before the Lesson:
Let us begin with prayer. Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. O come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. O God our Father, Whose holiness fills all heaven and earth, and Whose glory lightens our days, give us grace so to walk that we might know indeed that heaven and earth are filled with Thy glory; that Thy Word is truth, and Thy Word shall prevail, that every knee shall bow unto Thee and every tongue confess Thee, before Thy work on earth is finished. Therefore, we praise Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and we come into Thy presence with joy and thanksgiving, knowing that this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Our God, we praise Thee. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
At the end of a Lesson:
Let us pray. O Lord our God, we thank that Thy Word, which is truth, speaks to our every condition. Cleanse from us, O Lord, all Gentile authority, and make us ministers of Thy kingdom and of Thy truth, with a desire not to lord it over others, but to minister unto them, and to serve them, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Make us mindful, O Lord that this is our calling, and that we have the great pattern of our Savior, Who came not to lord it over us, but to serve us. How great Thy ways are, O Lord, and how marvelous. We praise Thee. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
At the end of the Q&A:
Well, our time is up. Let us bow our heads now in prayer. O Lord our God, we give thanks unto Thee that all things come from Thee, that all things shall fulfill Thy glorious purpose. Give us grace to walk day by day in the confidence that Thou doest all things well; that our times are in Thy hands, and that our labor in Thee is never vain. Great and marvelous are Thy ways and provisions, O Lord, and we thank Thee. And now, go in peace. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost bless you and keep you, guide and protect you, this day and always.
Amen.
