Morning prayers 18th September 2020,



 

For morning Light

We humbly thank you

And offer our praise to you

Open our hearts and minds 

And give us your presence

In our lives today

Prayer for Gods help

 

Loving God

Come into my confused and troubled life

And send your Spirit

To work in me 

To realign me

So that I may know 

You in my life

Your joy, your peace, your Shalom

 

The Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Romans 5v15 For this one man, Adam brought death to many through his sin. But this one man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through Gods mercy.

May we not fail you. Amen

 

Closing Responses

 

This is the day that God has made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

I will not offer to God

Offerings that cost me nothing

I will go in Peace

To love and serve the Lord

And make a difference

Amen
