Prayer

Our Heavenly Father,

You are the creator of all people. You have made us all in your image. And yet over the last week, we have have been reminded of the division amongst people and the scourge of racism. We’ve seen images of prayer and images of violence. We’ve seen many leaders brandish Bibles but not be formed by it. And this is just what we’ve seen; we know that see it all and it must grieve your heart.

Lord, we lament the state of our world. We lament that the hearts of humans are so often marked by sin and we know this because this is true for us too. We lament racial discrimination and violence, not as something that exists just overseas, but can and does exist in our very own country, community and hearts. Lord, give us eyes to see and hearts that care. Humble us.

We pray for peace in our world. We ask that all would acknowledge Jesus as Lord and seek to live under his Lordship. We pray that our leaders and leaders all over the world would humble themselves and turn to you. We pray that they would rule with justice and humility.

We thank you that in the Scriptures you reveal that our destiny is to be a people from every tribe, nation and tongue, gathered around your throne. We pray that our church will be an ever-increasing picture of unity and diversity; united in Christ and diverse in background and culture.

Lord, we thank you that you are a God who sees the unpayable debt of our sin. Thank you that Christ bore the cost on himself on the cross. Please change us more and more. Humble us by your word today, we pray. Help us to see that we have nothing to boast in but Christ alone. Help us to extend the grace to others that you have so lavishly given to us.

We pray this in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace,

Amen.

Prayer

Our Heavenly Father,

Hallowed be your name. You are holy and good. In you, there is no imperfection or blemish or fault. Father, you are so good, both in your nature and in all that you give to us. We praise and thank you for your kindness and generosity towards us. God, you are love. And we thank you that your love overflows towards us. Please help us to find joy and satisfaction in who you are.

Father, thank you for giving us your Son. Thank you that Christ denied himself and took up his cross for us. Thank you that he endured the shame and agony of the cross. In the cross, we see you wrath towards sin and your love towards us.

Lord, we confess today that we are so often prone towards pride. We think ourselves big and important. We struggle to humble ourselves. We don’t love others as you love us and sometimes we cause other people to stumble. We confess that we struggle with ongoing sin and often love darkness instead of coming into the light. Father, please forgive us. We are sorry for all the ways that we wrong you and others. Help us to truly repent and change.

We ask you, Lord, to please convict us of our sin and enable us to repent. Please melt us with your love and grace. Help us to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow you. Help us to willingly endure suffering to put off sin. Help us to see ourselves and others in light of who you are and what you have said.

We pray this, in the name of your glorious Son,

Amen
