Call To Worship: We Give You Thanks, O Lord

For all the gracious opportunities and privileges of the passing week,
we give You thanks, O Lord.

For the kind invitation to keep a day as holy unto You,
we give You thanks, O Lord.

For this house of worship and these brothers and sisters,
we give You thanks, O Lord.

For the gift of song and a voice to raise in worship,
we give You thanks, O Lord.

For the strong assurance of the Gospel, for Your redeeming love, and the transforming presence of your Holy Spirit,
we give You thanks, O Lord!

As we return to the cycle of common tasks tomorrow, keep us ever grateful for your good gifts.

As we come to worship You, be the fountain of refreshment for our souls, the purifying wind that cleanses our imaginations, and the light that illuminates our minds to see the timeless truths of Your Word.

We pray these things in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!

Classic Prayer: Dallas Willard

Dear Lord Jesus Christ –
We are so thankful that you have said,
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
We are thankful for the ease with which you walked upon this earth,
the generosity and kindness you showed to people,
the devotion with which you cared for those who were out of the way and in trouble,
the extent to which you even loved your enemies and laid down your life for them.
We are so thankful to believe that this is a life for us, a life without lack; a life of sufficiency.
It’s so clear in you, the sufficiency of your Father and the fullness of life that was poured through you,
and we’re so thankful that you have promised the same love, the same life, the same joy, and the same power for us.
Lord, slip up on us today. Get past our defenses, our worries, our concerns.
Gently open our souls and speak your word into them.
We believe you want to do it, and we wait for you to do it now.
In your name, Amen
