Opening Prayer

God of justice, peace, and righteousness, come into our midst this evening. Breathe your breath, your Spirit of prophecy, your energy, your enlivening, your imagination on us.

Wake us up, open our eyes, unplug our ears, that we might grieve, that we might dream, that we might follow the ways of your extraordinary kingdom. Amen.

Scripture

1. Three chapters of the Psalms

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven, your name be honored as holy.

Thank God for who He is and His abundant faithfulness.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..

Pray for God’s rule and reign to become a reality.

Give us today our daily bread.

Pray for God’s daily provision in your life.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

Confess your sins to the Lord, and forgive people who have wronged you.

And do not bring us into temptation,

Ask for God to guide you in “paths of righteousness for His name sake.” 

But deliver us from the evil one.

Pray for God’s protection against any of the strategies of Satan. 

For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and glory, for ever and ever. Amen

Closing Prayer

You are the body of Christ.

May you have the heart of Christ, tender and mercy.

May you have the eyes of Christ to see a world in need.

May you have the feet of Christ to bring good news.

Go in peace, and God go with you.
