Opening Prayer

Take heart, God will rejoice over you in gladness, and will renew you in love

                                                                         
​                                                                               (Silent reflection)


Prayer of the Bible

Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.  Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.  In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks,
-I Chronicles 29: 10-13 


                                                 (Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God)

Confession of Sin

Loving Father, please accept my distractions, my fatigue, my irritations, and faithless wanderings, forgive me all of my sin and help me to rest in your loving embrace.   


                                                             (Time of silence for confession of sin)

The Words of Jesus

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.  “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
-Matthew 5:27-32


                                                     (Think deeply on these life-giving words of Jesus)

Prayers for Ourselves and Others

In all my prayers for others, I always pray with Joy   
-Philippians 1:4


                                            (Bring before God our own needs and the needs of others)

Closing Prayer

I am no longer my own, but Yours.  Do to me as you desire, place me among those you see fit
​Put me to service and put me to suffering, let me be commissioned by You or laid aside for You
Let me be exalted for You, or brought down for You; Let me be full, let me be empty.  Let me have all things, let me have nothing; I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal.  And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Thou are mine, and I am Yours and the covenant which I have made on earth, Let it be ratified in heaven.  Amen

-The Wesley Covenant Prayer    (This prayer was first used in a service in 1755)



                                                     (Go now, sent out by the Father into the world
                                                             to love and serve in the name of Jesus
                                                               and empowered by the Holy Spirit)
