Your Words
God’s words are silent
they reach us in the thoughts of our hearts,
in the love of friends,
in the world You gave us
and its seasons.
In our prayers.
Psalm 25
A Prayer for Guidance, Pardon and Protection
Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul
O my God, I trust in thee:
let me not be ashamed
let not mine enemies triumph over me
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause
Show me thy ways, O Lord;
teach me thy paths
Good Morning, This Is God Speaking
Some mornings you wake up and your problems are right there
Maybe your car won't start. Perhaps you have had a disagreement with someone at work. You receive an unexpected bill in the mail and realise you have more month than money … what to do, what to do, what to do …
There is only one thing for it!
Prayer
Time to ask God for help
You turn around and spot this note on the fridge
No idea how it got there, perhaps it is a miracle. Perhaps the whole of life is a miracle?
Thank you God!
In gratitude for all of your miracles
Indeed, in gratitude for You. Amen
A Prayer for the New Year
LOVING GOD, journey with me this year
so that I may feel your presence,
abide in your forgiveness, grow in your strength,
and dwell in your love.
Give me an open heart,
an open mind,
and open eyes
so that I may sing your praise
and follow your path always and everywhere. Amen

A Prayer for Advent
This prayer was originally written as the opening for an Advent season worship service:
Father God, since childhood Christmas has evoked in us all manner of feelings: joy, excitement, anticipation.
But as our understanding of Christmas has grown, what happened at that first Christmas now causes us to stand amazed — that you, the sovereign Lord of all the universe would come in search of us, to relieve us of our burden of sin, to rescue us from hopelessness, and to offer us entrance into your presence and a role to play in the unfolding of your purposes.
Father, thank you that Christmas tells us just how much you have set your affection on us.
May we never take lightly what you have done on our behalf through the life, the death, and the resurrection of Him who became as we are that we might become as He is.
We offer our thanks to you in the name of Jesus the Christ, the visible expression of the invisible God
Thank You Lord God for the Opportunity of Worship
Thank you Lord God for the opportunity of worship,
for the freedom to be amongst your family
meeting together in your house,
and in the warmth of your embrace
meeting together in your house,
and in the warmth of your embrace
Thank you that in worship we can put aside,
the uncertainties of this world and rest
upon the certainties of the Kingdom,
for your promises are not changeable
as those of a politician might be,
but immovable and eternal

Thank you that we can bring to your feet
all the hurts and fears that trouble us,
and leave them there,
knowing that your strength and assurance
are all that we require

Thank you that as we draw near in worship,
we are transported
from a world of concerns and fears,
to a place where we can be at peace in your presence,
find healing, wholeness and refreshment.
