Prayer of Adoration Wonderful,

Prayer of Adoration

Wonderful, Counselor, … Everlasting Father, Prince of peace.
King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
Mighty, Holy One of Israel.
Immanuel, Comforter,
Lion and Lamb, Alpha and Omega:
With your names we adore and praise you!

Prayer of Confession

Oh, but how often we take your names in vain.
Declaring we trust in you with our lips,
we trust in our selves with our actions.
We name your names when it’s easy
but deny them when it gets costly.
We claim to speak truth but tell lies instead.
Forgive us for taking your name in vain,
bringing shame to the name Christian; …
and to the One who gave us that name.
This is our prayer –
and in the silence of this moment
we also ask your forgiveness
for what we’re too ashamed to mention aloud.

Silence

Assurance of Pardon

The promise is true, that if we confess our sins he is faithful and just he will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, by His grace active through you faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior : you are forgive and free of all your sins. Hallelujah! AMEN.
