Invocation prayer (before reading the Scripture)

 

Dear God

with the Bible in our hands

we ask You to draw near to us

in this, Your hour.

Speak forcefully through Your open page

to every corner of our hearts,

and as we reflect on Jesus and His love for us,

let our love for Him grow

for our salvation sake

and for the glory of Your precious Name.

 

Amen

 

 

Main Worship  prayer

 

How great You are

our God and our Salvation,

that You have given Yourself to us,

through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

To die on the cross

while we were not yet born

to save us from sins not yet committed

and to call us to salvation.

How can we reject such a great offer

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

 

We bring to you our feeble members

the wayward, the struggling ones,

the widows and those who lost love ones.

Friend of broken hearts

mend relationships for people

and fill their cups till it overflows

with Love from on high.

Love unbound, Love excelling

 

We thank you for blessings,

blessings of health, of gifts, of daily bread.

And invite all to come

in this hour

to Your windows of heaven

so that You may rain blessings on their hearts today.

Answer their prayers

O my God

for their love ones

for their children

for their parents

for their sick ones

for the wayward

for the poor and needy

for the truth.

 

we all pray

in Jesus loving name,

 

Amen
