6 November
Worship of the Week this week comes from Rev Shuna Dicks and the congregation of Cults Parish Church.
Weekly Worship prayer for the week: 6 November, 2023
A Trinitarian prayer of confession and repentancebased on Thessalonians: "Live a life worthy of God".
How do we come to You, Holy God?
And what do You say to us:
When we are confused by the complexity of the world today
When we feel overwhelmed by what is happening around us
When we are weary of struggle and change
When it is so hard to be real, or to speak honestly
When we avoid difficult truths about ourselves
When we shun people or situations we find difficult
When we feel resistant to others' cares or suffering
When we are discouraged by our own frailty
Remind us of Your promises today.
Living Christ: how do You come to us?
Speaking peace
Inviting freedom
Shining light
Travelling with us
To the other side.
Spirit of Truth: what will You do in/through us?
Comfort us
Re-create us
Call us forward
In Your power and gentle presence
To live a life worthy of God.
Amen
Thanksgiving and gratitude
So, Lord we come today: to give You thanks,
for Your wonderful works to humankind.
We acknowledge Your goodness
and recall Your steadfast love,
this day and all days
Amen
