Prayer: God of greatness and glory

God of greatness and glory,
God of splendour and surprise,
God of cross and manger;
God of hope in present danger,
Your voice shakes the earth, sounding like thunder, breaking cedars.
Your voice is like flames consuming the wilderness.
Your nature seems destructive in its power,
greater than earthquake, wind or fire.
Oak trees bend like reeds,
leaves ripped from their branches.
