Scripture Reading
Psalm 113, Luke 1:47-55
Praise and Worship
Gracious Father, we bless You. Thank You for being the King of Glory. Thank You for being our Father, Redeemer, Shepherd, and King. Thank You for reconciling us back to You through Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are thankful to You for the Holy Spirit, who is the promised Advocate who empowers us to be effective witnesses to Your Kingdom here on earth. Thank You for loving us and watching over us. Lord, let all that we are praise You. We will praise You as long as we live. We will sing Your praises with our dying breath. Our hope is in You, the Lord, our God. You created heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. You keep every promise forever. We stand amazed at how awesome You are!
Praying God’s Will
Magnificent Father, we revere and honor You today. You are our God, and we submit our loyalty and adoration to You. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You existed before time and created everything that exists. Lord, only You have held the ocean in Your hand. You measured off the heavens with Your fingers, and You know how much the earth weighs! You are truly amazing! When we look up at the sky, we know that You created every star that we see. Lord, You are the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.
Praying the Request
Glorious Father, please let Your ears always be attentive to our prayers. Holy Spirit, continue to teach us how to love You, Jesus, our Brother, and our Father, God. Please remind each of us of the many things God does for us daily, and help us spend more time in praise and adoration. Help us to be a thankful congregation that reflects the glory of God by the way we live our lives. Holy Spirit, help us always to be mindful of Your presence in our daily lives and help us to be quick to respond when You quicken us to action.
Praying for Forgiveness
Forgiving Father, forgive us as a Church Family for sins of pride, rebellion, disobedience, selfishness, hatred, and idolatry. Lord, forgive us for half-hearted worship. Forgive us for disrespecting Your Name and treating You irreverently. Forgive those who choose not to bless and honor You. Forgive those of us who are parents for not teaching our children to revere and adore You. Lord Jesus, forgive those who take Your sacrifice for granted.
Praying for Protection
Omnipotent Father, help us not to yield to temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Praise and Worship
Praise the Lord, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, reigns. Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations. Who will not fear You and glorify Your Name? You alone are holy! All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous deeds have been revealed. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
