O God, thank you for the many times this past week that you have blessed us with your goodness, guidance, and grace. You provided signs of your presence in so many different ways and we are grateful.
We can also sense your presence this morning here in worship through the reading of scripture, our hymns and prayers, and in this time of sharing in prayer together. Hear our prayers as we lift up to you those who are on our church’s prayer list and others who are on our hearts and minds this day. May they know of your healing, guiding, and comforting presence in whatever they may be facing.
Whenever we become discouraged or struggle with making an important decision or in need of reassurance that you are with us, remind us to always turn to you.
And so today, we turn to you for strength and for hope. We turn to you as we seek to be your faithful disciples. We turn to you and pray these words that you taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
