LITANY OF THANKSGIVING
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look, this is something new?”
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
Did not God say, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland”?
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
Did God not say, “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. No longer will they call you Deserted or Desolate, but My Delight”?
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
Did Jeremiah not say, “The Lord’s compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”?
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
Did Jesus not invite us to experience new life in him at the last supper when he took a cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you”?
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
Because of him, we regard no one, we regard nothing, from a worldly point of view. There is something new under the sun. It is life in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yes Indeed, Thanks be to God!
If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
Thanks be to God!
