This Prayer is based around Paul's imperitive to the church at Philippi to live worthy of the gospel (Philippians 1:27). It gives thanks to God for all he has done for us and offers a prayer that we might live our lives in a way that is an expression of God's grace and love.
Lord God we
come today to thank you for your great Love
Shown in all
the wonderful things you have done for us.
We thank you
for all you have made
Diverse
environments and the Immense splendour of the night sky,
The delicate
and intricate, the beautiful and awe inspiring
For the
unique individuals, you have made each of us
We praise
you for your loving craftmanship
And pray you
would help us to care for, and treat it wisely
And treat
each other as fearfully and wonderfully made in your image.
Loving God,
full of mercy and grace
We thank you for your redemptive love shown in
Jesus Christ
Jesus
stepped humbly down in to our world
proclaimed
good news to the poor freedom to captive, sight to blind
He healed
the sick, welcomed back the outcast
Died on the
cross for the forgiveness of sin, and rose again to life.
We praise
you that in this we who were lost in the dark, are found in the light,
And we pray
we would live worthy of that great love
That we may
show the same grace and love to all around us
Holy God,
who choses to dwell in your people by the Holy Spirit
We thank you
that you have poured out your Spirit on us all
You comfort
us and council us on how to live for Christ
You fill us
with the power we need to witness to
Jesus as Lord
You enable
and equip us to love and serve as Christ did.
Walking with
the Holy Spirit you produce Christ honouring fruit in us
We praise
you for your abiding presence with and within us
We pray that
we may know more of you each day
We pray as
the spirit moves we may grow to maturity in faith and love
Gracious
Lord, we come today aware of our need for you
Full of
thanks and praise for you and your love for us
Fully aware
of our failings and brokenness
We
acknowledge that we have done wrong
That we have
left undone the good you call us to do
That we have
not loved as you have loved us
We thank you
that you are just and faithful and hear
our confession
We pray that
you would forgive us and wipe the slate clean
We humbly
hear you gracious words “you are forgiven”
Father God,
who sent us your Son, who sends the Holy Spirit
In response
to your love we dedicate ourselves afresh today
We open
ourselves up afresh to you
Fill us we
pray with your Holy Spirit
Lead us and
teach us to walk in your ways
Reenergise
our love in Christ and witness to Christ
We praise
you Father, Son and Holy Spirit for hearing our pray
We ask that
you would help us to live worth of your gospel
All glory
and Honour to you God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
