forevermore!

Holy
God, almighty and omnipresent, worshiped in heaven and earth through all
ages! As we know that we are in your
glorious presence, grant us a sense of your majesty and your grace! This
morning guide your people who came to worship you, by the work of the Holy
Spirit.
By
the power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, help us to praise, to worship,
to listen and to bring glory to your Name.

forgiveness of sins.
Heavenly Father, keep us from all temptation, deliver us from evil and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us.

pray,
through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Intercession
Gracious
God and heavenly Father,
It is our greatest joy to praise you,
to thank you, and to worship you, for great is the majesty of your name,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, ever-living and ever-merciful God.
It is not by the
spirit of the world, but by your Spirit alone that we may know all the gifts
and blessings you so generously grant us. For your Spirit explores everything,
even the depths of your own being, and knows what is truly yours and also knows
all our needs.
Therefore grant to us
that we may be enabled to hear what you say to us, that we will not live
according to the foolishness of a godless society, but according to your holy
will and divine wisdom.
Lord our God, you are holy and most holy! Now give us a spirit of adoration, of love, of
obedience and complete surrender to you and your will, to your Son, your holy
Word and to your Holy Spirit.
Almighty God, for the unity of the
Church of Christ, the salvation of all people and the peace of the whole world,
we pray.
For our city, and for the faithful who
live here and strive to serve you in all humility and obedience, we pray. Help us now to commit ourselves and one
another and our lives and all its challenges and opportunities to you, o Lord,
whose power is beyond compare, whose glory we can never understand nor fathom, whose
mercy is never-ending, and whose love for us is divine and immeasurable.
Lord, look upon us and this church
with compassion. Give us and those who pray with us, your abundant mercy and
show us your love in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
We pray for those who travel long
distances,
for the sick,
the suffering,
those in prison, and for their
salvation.
We pray for deliverance from hardship,
danger, distress and despondency.
We pray for healing, restoration, joy,
gladness and deliverance
and that this church and all her
members will be set free from any form of evil, for the sake of your kingdom
and glory.
Hear, Father God, our
prayers today for.....
Almighty God, remember us and listen
to our prayers.
Speak to us through the reading of the
Holy Scriptures and through the preaching of your Word. May we listen your
eternal Word, even Jesus Christ your Son, and our Lord.
For yours is the Kingdom, the power
and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
