Prayers For Worship May 2021

PRAYERS FOR WORSHIP May 2, 2021
Greeting
We gather here in this House of Healing.
For all of you who are …
paralyzed by grief,
crippled by self-doubt,
blinded by prejudice,
made deaf by insensitivity,
Come in and be touched by the Lord.

Abide in Me, says the Lord!

Penitential Prayer
Forgive us, Father, for not remembering …
– that we followers of Christ are supposed to make a difference in the dark and troubled world;
– that we followers of Christ are supposed to equip ourselves to go out to serve others, in a ministry of love;
– that we followers of Christ are supposed to set the world on fire in a manner far out of proportion to our numbers.

Forgive us, Father, for not remembering that we have been called to bear much fruit in our servant ministry.

Blessing
Go now, with God’s blessing!
Go now, and abide in the Lord!
