once again just a simply prayer for our church service this week.
What great
love you have for us God,
We are
fearfully and wonderful made, each unique one off’s
You know us
so well, you saw us in our mother’s wombs
While some of
us might want to have words with you about it
The psalmist
tells us you even know the number of hairs on our head
You know our
comings in and going out, our times are in your hands
You know our
needs even before we ask you
And you see
the deep hidden things at the very core of us,
Both the
good and prise worthy and the pains and wounds of our heart
What great
love you have for us
What great
love you have shown us
We had gone
our own way and turned our backs
Yet you sent
your son to make a way for us to come back to you
Jesus emptied
himself and became one of us, a servant
Preached and
proclaimed Good news to the poor
Healed the
sick and set the captives free,
Gave sight
to the blind, both physical and spiritual
He willing
gave up his life for the forgiveness of our sins,
Being betrayed
and falsely accused, he dies on the cross
But you raised
him to life again and he is seated at your right hand
What great
love you have shown us
What great
love we experience from you
In Christ’s
death and resurrection, we are forgive and have new life,
We know your
abiding presence because you have sent your Holy Spirit
That fulness
of life is eternal because it is lived in you, eternal God
We were
distant and estranged, you called us together as your people
Brothers and
sister in Christ, with those next to us and round the world
You provide our
needs through the wonder of your creation
You provide
for our needs in answering our prayers
We find
meaning and purpose in serving you by loving others
What great
love we experience from you
Your faithful
love is new every morning
So today we
come and ask your forgiveness
We have done
things that you have said we should not
We have left
undone the good you have told us to do
We acknowledge
that we have sinned forgive us Lord we pray
Because you
are faithful we know we are forgiven and made new
Today we ask
for a fresh filling of your spirit
Today we ask
that you may help us to love as Christ loved
Today we say
glory to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Your faithful
love is new every morning
