A Collect for Joy at God’s Presence

Great and mighty God, to whom is all praise and glory and honor and power, fill our hearts with gratitude and joy whenever we enter your presence, that you would be honored and that we would recognize your goodness and respond with the praise you deserve always, through Jesus Christ your son, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

‘So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing, and when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatted calf. David danced before the LORD with all his might.’ – 2 Sam. 6:12-14
