Prayer
O’ God the Father, you who created of Heaven and Earth by Your Word
O’ God the Son, you who redeemed of the world through Your Blood
God the Holy Spirit, the one who strengthens Your people through Your word
O Holy God Please have mercy on us as your people
Dear gracious and loving Father. We come amazed at your created world. How you spoke and who by your word caused all creation to come into being. The world both seen and unseen reflects the wonder of who you are. As we see the plans for life we see your power and majesty.
Our Lord Jesus, we come in wonder at who you are. We see the beauty of your life, your death and your resurrection. We see the darkness of our sin against the love that you have, demonstrated for us, in dying on the cross for our sin and our rebellion
We thank you that you have risen again from the dead so that we might have life. Please Lord have mercy on us as our hearts bend away from you. Please lead us into places of rest knowing that your love meets us in our darkest places and that your forgiveness covers all of our sin your life and that your life brings new life to bear in our life
Holy Spirit please speak your word today, enliven our hearts and minds so that we might hear you. Please draw us deeper in love for the Lord Jesus we pray. That we might walk close with God as our Heavenly Father.
That you would convict us of sin in our lives and that you would help us to be quick to confess our sin so we might be clean again. Please Lord do your work in us.
We know that Jesus said that no greater love is this: that a man lay down his life for his friends. We thank you for those who have served our nation well in times of war and of peace, those who have sacrificed their lives for us. Thank you today for those who lived and those who have died. Thank you that what they have done points to what we have in Jesus’ provision today.
Father, we pray for those who we know who are bearing the pain of life’s uncertainty. For employment problems, for health problems, for problems in family and marriages. Lord, we know that you are the one who is our security, that you are the one who is hope, that you are the one who is our joy. Please lead us to a place where we can rest with you. That we can enjoy you and delight in you and we might bring glory to your name; because you meet with us and we meet with you.
So please be with us today we pray in Jesus great name, Amen.
