We adore You as our God, our King, Father and Lord. We praise You the Son, the Shepherd, the Vine, the Saviour. We praise You the Holy Spirit, the gift of Pentecost. We adore You enthroned on high in heaven, risen from the tomb and alive in our hearts. For You are our Great Lord, who reigns the same today, tomorrow and forever. We know that You have always been with us, at our side and giving us the strength we need in our lives. So we declare our adoration this day to You, O Lord our God. Amen Prayer of Confession Gracious and forgiving God, we bring before You our burden of sins. We confess all our wrongdoing, all the times we have done what we ought not, and all the times we have left undone what we should have done. We confess that we have not always lived in Righteousness and truth. We confess all these things and lay down the burden of our sins. In the time of silence we call into mind those sins which especially burden us (pause). We repent of them, for Lord we are sorry we have not done what we ought to have done. We know that when we repent of our sins, our sins are forgiven. And so we give thanks that we have been cleansed of our sins. We pray to ask You to strengthen us against sin, as we go forth in our cleanliness. Amen. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Prayer of Intercession Lord our God, we pray for all the people who are in need in this world. We ask that all those who have want of the things of this world feel their want relieved. We pray for all those who grieve and all who are struggling in these times, Lord, bring them comfort in their grief and trials. We pray for all those who are struggling to taste the bread of heaven, Lord, help us bring them the spiritual sustenance they crave, whether they realise it or not. We ask Lord God that You guide those in government and positions of authority to do that which is right, and we ask especially your blessing upon all those who stood this week, both those who must now take up a task, and those who shall not yet do so. We pray Your Blessings upon our Royal Family as they grieve the loss of Prince Philip and continue in their duties. We pray for the end of the pandemic, and help for all affected, especially remembering those places which suffer especially at the moment, Lord may their sufferings ease and may help and vaccines come unto all the world. We pray for all those who are hoping for good news, or improved prospects, may they receive comforts and joy. All these we ask trusting in Your promise of sustenance, now and forever. Thanks be to You Our Lord for all Your help. Amen The Grace May The Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit, Be With Us All, Ever More, Amen
