Almighty Father God,
We praise you and thank you for your faithfulness to us especially for fulfilling all of your promises concerning the coming of the Messiah, His sinless life - fulfilling all of the law and commandments, His acceptable sacrifice as the unblemished Lamb of God, His undeniable and literally earth-shattering resurrection, His ascension, His right-hand seated position to the Father and His unceasing intercessory prayers for us.
As those who are privileged to be part of a local fellowship week after week, we forget the significance of your faithfulness to us especially in regard to fulfilling your promises for our salvation. Please forgive us. Please help us to preach the gospel to ourselves everyday.
Your word states that you are near to call who call upon you, and to all who call upon you in truth. We thank you that you will never cast aside anyone who calls upon you in truth.
We thank you Heavenly Father that all who ask shall be given good gifts from you with whom there is no variation. All who seek you, shall find you, all who knock, the doors of heaven shall be opened to them. Please help us to ask, knock and seek with right motives and for the glory of God alone.
We thank you for your faithfulness in ensuring that all those who call upon your Holy Name shall never be put to shame.
Thank you for promising to give us rest for our souls when we come to you and take your yoke upon us to learn from you.
You see through our carnal nature. Nothing is hidden from you. And yet, you invite us to come to you. You are long-suffering, compassionate, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving-kindness. We thank you for that.
You surely have not dealt with us according to our sins. We would be non-existent in an instant as if we had never been. But your faithful lovingkindness toward those who fear you is as high as the heavens are above the earth. We thank you for that.
God you are a forgiving God. You are Faithful and Just to forgive when we confess and repent of our sins. Thank you, God, that the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Lord Most High, I lift up our students who are at the Ascend Camp. We pray that you would open their hearts to understand the teaching of your word. May their lives be transformed with lasting changes and unquenched thirst to pursue Jesus Christ. May they enjoy each other’s company and have a great time making lifelong Christian friends who will encourage each other’s respective walk in Christ. Please bring them back safely to us.
Please bless the remainder of our worship service. May all of us be edified by your word in our singing, teaching and receiving your word and in our fellowship. Be highly exalted and glorified. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
