Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on God’s Presence
For the joy of your presence
Changing and renewing us
Day by day,
We offer you our praise.
For the blessing you bring us,
The outpouring of your love
Day by day,
We offer you our praise.
For peace beyond understanding,
Blessed assurance
Day by day
We offer you our praise.
For the Word that endures,
Teaches and challenges,
Generation to generation,
We offer you our praise.
John Birch, Faith and Worship
Gracious and faithful God
– our Creator, Redeemer and Comforter:
When we don’t know the way – You show us the way; and
When we can’t find a way – You make a way.
Thank you!
Thank you for Your gift of a Savior –
not a savior who stays distant and aloof,
but one who enters the warp and woof of our existence
as Emmanuel – God with us; and
who then sanctifies every place and time in which we live.
