Ever gracious and most merciful Lord, we honor and praise you for the unconditional love you lavish upon all your children. You alone are worthy of our worship. We raise your name in prayer, spend time in study of your Word, and sing songs of joy to you, beloved Father.
Help us to see your will for our lives. Open our hearts to service in your name, spending our time telling others of your power, might, and glory. Give us the words to tell the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection – the greatest story ever told – to all who would hear. Let us be humble servants who focus on sharing our faith and the many blessings you have bestowed upon your children.
As we grow in faith, walking with Jesus, and seeking opportunities to serve, guide us in the right direction. Help us to see the needs around us. Grant us favor that our actions would be honoring to you and your will. Let us respond joyfully to your call to serve our neighbors.
Thank you, blessed Jesus, for your sacrifice for us. Though unworthy, we gratefully accept your grace and love poured out for us. We repent of our sins, turning our backs on the distractions, temptations, and selfish ambitions that separate us from you. Fill our hearts, Holy Spirit, warming us with your presence, leading us to service at your inspiration.
We sincerely ask for your leading, renewal, and rebirth to remain ever-present for all of us.
All these things we pray in the name of our risen Savior. Amen.

Prayer - Service
Heavenly Father,
We praise you and give you glory. You are alone are holy and worthy of our worship. We honor you, love you, and adore you.
We thank you, dear Jesus, for your love for us and for your obedience to our Father’s will. We ask you to walk beside us, giving us confidence, courage, and the example we all need.
Holy Spirit, keep the fire of belief lit within us, inspiring us to respond with service in Jesus’ name. Never let us lose our hope, our confidence, and our strength that comes from God alone.
Surround us with your love, most gracious God. Reveal to us your will and show us the ministry you have in store for us. Let us reach out beyond ourselves and our congregation to tell of your goodness. Put the words in our mouths so we can share the good news of the Gospel, living as imperfect examples seeking to glorify you in all we do and say.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
