Ascension Day Collect (Children's Reboot)


God our maker,
you made the heavens
and the earth.
We are glad Jesus
lived on earth,
lives in heaven
and brings us life.
Help us enjoy being alive,
in our amazing world.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 5.61 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 25.61 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a reboot.

My collection of five Ascension Day prayers are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The first phase of the project runs from Advent 2012 to 2016.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
