Prayers Used In the Service
Prayer of Adoration
Gracious God, as we come together this evening to pray to You as our God, we praise You with all our hearts and minds. We praise You as the Lord enthroned on High, and the Holy Spirit alive in us. We praise You as the Christ who died for us, and rose again to triumph over death. We praise You as the Lord God, the blessed three in one. We praise You and revel as we think of the Glory and magnificence of You. Praise be unto You, Father Son and Holy Spirit, Amen
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Gracious God our Father we give our thanks to You for all the wonderful things You have given unto us. We give thanks for all the things we get from You every day, from the breath which comes to our lungs to the food and drink which sustain us. We thank You for all the things we have been brought safely through, and all the strength given to us in these difficult times. We thank You for all You have given unto us and all to come, Thanks be to You Our God, Amen
Prayer of Confession
Lord our God, we bring before You the sins we have committed. We confess all the things we have done wrong in thought, word and deed. We confess that we have done wrong by the things we have not done. We confess our sins, and ask Lord God that You Forgive Us. We ask for this forgiveness, trusting solely in Your love for our forgiveness, and we thank You Lord God that we are washed clean of our sins. Thanks be to You Father Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord’s Prayer
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
The Power And The Glory
Forever And Ever
Amen
Prayer of Intercession
Lord our God, we pray for all the people who are in need in this world. We ask that all those who have want of the things of this world feel their want relieved. We pray for all those who grieve and all who are struggling in these times, Lord, bring them comfort in their grief and trials. We pray for all those who are struggling to taste the bread of heaven, Lord, help us bring them the spiritual sustenance they crave, whether they realise it or not. We ask Lord God that You guide those in government and positions of authority to do that which is right, and we pray Your Blessings upon our Royal Family as they grieve the loss of Prince Philip and continue in their duties. We pray for the end of the pandemic, and help for all affected, especially remembering those places such Brazil and India which suffer especially at the moment, Lord may their sufferings ease and may help and vaccines come unto all the world. We pray for all those who are hoping for good news, or improved prospects, may they receive comforts and joy. All these we ask trusting in Your promise of sustenance, now and forever. Thanks be to You Our Lord for all Your help. Amen
The Grace
May The Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit, Be With Us All, Ever More, Amen.
