Almighty and Everlasting
God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, we gather before You as worshippers of Your
ways and servants of Your truth. We long to please You with our lives and hope
to honor You with our praises.
People: Loving Lord, we know that we are unholy
and imperfect. We admit to making mistakes, surrendering to sin, and yielding
to temptation. Pardon our pride and forgive our fallen ways. Hear us now as we
silently confess our past mistakes to You alone.

SILENCE -
Guide:
Merciful God, we rely
upon Jesus to save us from ourselves. We look to Him to cleanse our souls,
acquit us of our sins, and restore us to Your favor. In His Holy words, we unite
ourselves in prayer, saying: “Our Father…THE LORD’S PRAYER”
(debts/debtors).
Promise of the Gospel
Guide: Only
Jesus, our King, can give us eternal life through the forgiveness of our sins.
He truly guides us each day and leads us to the point where we can completely
rely upon His grace. His body was broken for our mistakes; His blood was shed
for our sins. He is our Lord and Redeemer, both now and forever. Amen.
Gloria Patri (sung in unison): Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Amen.

Hear

Your Healing hands. Save us from our sickness and deliver us from despair. Restore
us, O Lord, to health and strength. Look favorably upon us and grant us hope
with peace. Hear our prayers, LORD God and give us patience to wait upon Your
answer.
People: Listen
to the cries of our hearts and heal us, as well as all our loved ones, from
everything that harms us in body, mind, heart, and spirit. In the midst of our
discomfort and pain, grant us rest. At the time of our greatest anxiety and
deepest concern, be our strength and source of healing. Hear us now as we
silently pray.

upon us, that we may be healed. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
