Opening Prayer
You, O Lord, will keep me from all evil; You will preserve my soul. You will watch over my coming and going from this time forth and forevermore. -Psalm 121: 7-8 (silent reflection) Prayer of the Bible I will remember the deeds of the Lord; Yes, I will remember you wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and mediate on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like your God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known your might among the peoples. You with your arm redeemed your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. -Psalms 77:11-15 (Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God) Confession of Sin O God, we belong to You utterly. You are such a Father that You take our sins from us and throw them behind Your back. You clean our souls as Your Son also washed the disciples’ feet. We hold up our hearts to You: make them what they must be. Amen -George MacDonald (1824-1905) (Time of silence for confession of sin) The Words of Jesus You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. -John 5:33-36 (Think deeply on these life-giving words of Jesus) Prayers for Ourselves and Others So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. -Acts 12:5 (Time to bring before God our own needs and the needs of others) Closing Prayer ”Jesus, you said, Out of your heart shall flow rivers of living water, may this living water pour out from us to bring refreshment to the dry and thirsty souls all around us. Amen -A2J Community
