Adapted from Psalm 1

Leader: Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers.

People: But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

Leader: That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—

People: whatever they do prospers. So Lord we cry out for your help to obey all your ways.

Leader: Come Let us Worship the Lord!

Adapted from Psalm 119:1-5

Leader: Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord.

People: Happy are those who keep God’s decrees, who seek God with their whole heart.

Leader: Happy are we, when we do no wrong and walk in God’s ways.

People: O that our ways may be steadfast in keeping your commandments, O Lord.

All: Let us worship God!

Adapted from Psalm 119

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,

Who walk according to the law of the Lord.

Blessed are those who keep his statutes,

And seek God with all their heart.

We will praise you with upright hearts,

As we learn your righteous laws.

Adapted from Proverbs 3:5-6

Leader: God says, “Trust in Me with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.”

People: If in all our ways we acknowledge You, Lord, You will make our paths straight. We are not to be wise in your own eyes; but rather hold You in awe and respect, and turn away from evil.

Leader: If we do it will be a healing for our flesh and a refreshment for our bodies. That is what the word of the Lord says. Let us worship God.

Adapted from Philippians 2:5-8

Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus, who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing, by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death —even death on a cross!
