PSALM  100:1-5   |  Sing Psalms  |  Tune - Diademata

PRAYER

• Confession (Confessing our sins to God)
• Thanksgiving (Giving thanks to God for all He has given and continues to give)
• Supplication (Requesting His help, presence, leading and provision – especially for the people of God in our time of worship on the Lord’s Day)

CONFESSION OF SIN
“Our Father, as we come to worship you this day, we confess that in recent days we have not presented our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to you. We have entertained impure thoughts, been sharp with our tongues, desired that which is evil in your sight and even done things which do not accord with your holy commandments. Have mercy on us, we pray. Grant us the grace of true repentance, a grief and hatred for sin and a renewed desire to do all things in a manner worthy of the gospel. For we ask this in the name of Christ, our Lord, Amen."

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON
“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his Only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
1 John 4:9-10
