PRAYER

• Adoration (Praising God for who He is and what He is like/His attributes),

• 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 in heaven, Many of us come before you today with troubled hearts and minds. We are fearful about our relationships, our health, our finances, our families, our futures and many other things. We confess that we struggle to trust your promises in a way that would bring comfort to our hearts. Instead we doubt your love and concern for us and this sometimes prevents us from praying and bringing our burdens to you. We ask that you would forgive our unbelief, strengthen our faith and grant us a greater understanding of your steadfast love and faithfulness towards all who fear you, in Jesus’s Name, Amen.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” ; “Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” (John 3:16; 1 Peter 5:7)
