Community Prayers 2012-12-09
God of timeless grace, you fill us with joyful expectation. Make us ready for the message that prepares the way, that with uprightness of heart and holy joy we may eagerly await the kingdom of your Son, Jesus Christ, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
God of hope, you raised up John the baptizer as a herald who calls us to conversion. As we joyfully await the glorious coming of Christ, we pray to you for the needs of the church and the world. We lift up to you those for whom we pray out loud or silently in our hearts.......
Hear our humble prayer that we may serve you in holiness and faith
and give voice to your presence among us until the day of the coming of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
start of worship
Open our eyes that we might see, open our ears that we might hear, and open our hearts that we might truly worship in spirit and truth your Son who is coming again. In anticipation we pray this in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
