Sharing Of Gifts

Gracious God, as the light of your love bathes us in life again this day, grant us love for our work, strength to bear abundant fruit  and trust to wait patiently for direction from you.  Let true gladness of heart increase through generous sharing of the gifts which you have given for the salvation of the world.  In Jesus Name we pray.  Amen.

O Divine Companion

O Divine Companion, be especially close to those who are grief stricken, or facing death or sickness.  Help them to know that you are as close to them as breath itself, and that you care for them.  Give them the assurance that through your life, death, resurrection and ascension, you have overcome the world.  Give all of us the strength of your Spirit, so that in the face of tribulation our faith will not grow weak.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.

Fill Us With Conviction

We pray, O God, that you fill us with conviction that the Gospel brings life for all.  Let your nearness inspire us to boldness, diligence and patience.  May none of us rely on outward appearance or fleeting praise.  Make us one with all  believers as we hold fast to the things which endure and rejoice in having seen you in different and wondrous ways.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.

Deliver Us From Coldness of Heart

Almighty God, giver of all Grace,  deliver us, we pray, from all coldness of heart and wanderings of mind, that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we may walk with you every day in spirit and truth.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.

The Way, The Truth, The Life

Lord Christ, our Savior and Friend you have shown us the Way that leads to a full life.  Fill us with a yearning to walk with you so that by following in the Way we may be bathed in your light of truth and righteousness, while you- the Way, the Truth and the Life -  guide us and protect us from all evil.  Praise be unto you, the sacrificial Lamb.  Amen.

Thanksgiving for our Families and Friends

Gracious God, who provides so wondrously and wisely for us, in awe and thankfulness we praise you for our families and friends.  Priceless treasures have flowed into our lives through the tears, laughter, and prayers of loved ones.  As your heirs, we acknowledge that the best we have is not our own but has been given to us as a holy trust.  May we always treasure the gift of love.  In Jesus Name we pray.  Amen.

Thanksgiving For Your Compassionate Son

Almighty God we praise you for all your deeds of strength and glory.  We especially offer up thanksgiving for our compassionate Son who came into this world to over come the  powers of Sin and death, and to call us into your kingdom which starts here in this life and extends for all of eternity.  Accept our undying gratitude for the promise of a reunion with loved ones in your glorious Home in heaven.  In Jesus name we do pray.  Amen.
