Here are the prayers from the 10:45am worship service from Sunday, November 29th. These prayers incorporated the song, "Open Up" by the musical group, The Brilliance. It follows the parts of the Prayer of St. Francis.
May
your love cause us to open up, cause us to open up our hearts
May
your light cause us to shine so bright, that we bring hope into the dark
Good
morning Lord – Thank you for this time we have to be with you in worship and
prayer together as one body of Christ.
We live in a world that is desperate for peace; for peace between nations and people, between neighbors, in
families, friendships and within ourselves. Lord, make us instruments of your
peace. Where there is hatred, let
us sow love, where there is injury, pardon.
Hope for the hopeless, your love is
Where
there is doubt, let us bring faith; where there is despair, hope; Where there
is darkness, light; where there is sadness let us bring joy. For those who are alone, oppressed, and left out, give us
courage to reach out with your love to show them the grace we have felt from
you.
Hope for the hopeless, your love is
Grant
that we would not be so much seeking to be consoled as to console. We pray in our
heart especially
for those who are struggling with their physical, mental and spiritual health
now… May they find comfort, healing and be restored through your love.
Strength in our weakness, your love is
Grant
us that we would not focus too much on being understood without seeking to
understand those around us. Help
us to seek not just to be loved by others but to seek to love. For it
is in giving that
we receive; in pardoning that we are pardoned. Lord we pray for the courage to forgive, not only others,
but ourselves. Lead us to
reconciliation and restoration in and through you.
Strength in our weakness, your love is
May
your love cause us to open up, cause us to open up our hearts
May
your light cause us to shine so bright, that we bring hope into the dark
And
all God’s people say. Amen.
