Adoration:
“Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name..”
Dear Lord, let my praise and gratefulness to you be on my lips and on my heart each day and help me be mindful of your wondrous works and blessings in my life.
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” I praise you almighty God and lift my offerings of praise
Confession:
In Psalm 139 the Psalmist writes…”You have searched me and know me…you perceive my thoughts from afar….before a word in on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.” These truths give me pause to realize and think… have I confessed all of my thoughts and words to the Lord? - my attitudes, my actions? Lord cleanse my mind and heart, purify my words so that I may continue to live for you as an example to others.
​
Today’s Prayer requests:
1. Dear Lord Jesus… speak to my heart and mind through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit… that all my words and thoughts will be pleasing before you.
2. Father, let my light and love for you be so evident on a daily basis that others will notice You in my life and I will be able to share your love and plan of salvation with them.
3. Holy Spirit… as people arrive at our church I pray they know and sense your Holy Presence and know YOU are here.
