A Prayer for Reformation Sunday

What a heritage you have given to your church, sovereign Lord. We have the gospel in all its truth, and receive the Sacraments according to divine command. Teach us to appreciate that godly persons were willing to sacrifice their lives for these treasures. Keep us in this truth and make us instruments for its preservation for generations to come. Do not let Satan prevail in your church again so that another reformation would be needed. Let us this day rededicate our entire being to that which we have as a sacred trust. We ask this in your name, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
