Call To Worship: Almighty and Eternal God
Almighty and eternal God, You are hidden from my sight.
You are beyond my understanding. Your thoughts are not my thoughts; Your ways are a mystery.
Yet You make a way for me to find You, to be found by You.
You have breathed Your Spirit into me. You have formed my mind to seek You. You have inclined my heart to love You. You have made me restless for the rest that is in You.
You have planted within me a hunger and thirst, only satisfied by the bread of life, the living water.
Thank You for Your waiting presence, Your tender mercies, Your unshaming forgiveness, Your pursuing love, Your trustworthy refuge. Thank You for courage for what You call me to.
Today, tomorrow and the next, we give You praise, honor and glory, almighty and eternal God.
Classic Prayer: Richard Baxter, 1615-91
Eternal, Almighty, and most gracious God, heaven is Your throne, and earth is Your footstool; holy and reverend is Your name; You are praised by the angels of heaven, and in the gathering of Your church on earth. Despite our unworthiness, You have invited us through our mediator, Jesus Christ, to present ourselves and our prayers to You. Receive us graciously. Help us by Your Spirit. Let us stand in awe of You. Put Your law into our hearts, and write it on our minds. Let Your word come to us in power, and help us receive it in love, with attentive, reverent, and teachable minds. Through Your word, allow us to taste the flavor of eternal life. Make us fervent in prayer and joyful in praise. Help us serve You this day without distraction, that we may find that a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere, and that it is good for us to come near to God; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
