Savior, Savior, hear our humble cry as we come to offer our prayer to you this morning. Thank you for this weekly appointment with you where you reveal yourself to us through the reading of the scriptures. We are also grateful for the times during the week where we open ourselves to your Word and can know of your presence with us. Thank you for these holy moments of special revelation
But you also reveal yourself to us through many holy moments of general revelation whether it be by looking up at the shining starts at night or when we hike by a beautiful waterfall in the Blue Ridge mountains. As today’s psalmist says, “The heavens are telling the glory of God.”
Thank you for all of these ways that you hear our humble cry and do not pass us by like in this moment as we lift up to you those who are on our church’s prayer list as well as many other joys and concerns that are on our hearts and minds this day. May each of these persons know of your guiding, healing, comforting, and sustaining presence in whatever they may be facing.
And today, we offer a special prayer for anyone who may be struggling with doubts and wondering if there is a God in heaven. Help us to be open to those moments during the week where you may be nudging us to share a little of our faith with others and how you have revealed yourself to us.
Even now, reveal yourself to us as we pray together, the prayer that Jesus 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.
