God of the ages, your saints who
lived in faithful service surround

► I will always bless the LORD; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look to him and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried, and was heard by the LORD, and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him and delivers them. O taste and see that the LORD is good; happy are those who take refuge in him. O fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want. The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
Call to ConfessionLet us confess our sins to God and before each other.
UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Ephesians 1: 1-5; 5:1)Dear God, help us behave in ways that reflect Your nature and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to You. Almighty, we acknowledge you have blessed us in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before You made the world, You loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in Your eyes. Thank You for adopting us into Your family by reconciling us to You through Jesus Christ. We praise You for the glorious grace You have poured out on. Lord, You are rich in kindness and grace as shown by the finished work of the Lord Jesus that purchased our freedom with His death. Thank You for forgiving our sins and showering us with wisdom and understanding.
Assurance of pardon
Receive the good news, Scripture teaches If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

►May the words of my mouth and the
thoughts of all our hearts be pleasing and
acceptable to you, Lord. Speak to us, Lord. Give us spiritual ears to hear your
word for our lives. Give us spiritual eyes to
look at life through the lens of the gospel.
Touch our hearts to receive your message. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from
me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is
light.” Matthew 11:28-30
