Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on the Devil
God of power, love and wisdom:
you’ve known us and loved us from before we even were,
and extended your grace to us before we knew your name. You save us from ourselves –
from our arrogance, rebellion and sin;
and from the powers of the world and devil
which seek to ensnare us.
And you save us for something, as well –
for a new life of holiness
and for a great purpose:
to guard your gospel by giving it away in truth.
For all of this: we thank you and praise you.
Because of this: we can trust you and depend on you.
We Cry, “Glory!” based on the Parable of the Sower
Lord of Life
You sow extravagantly
Generously
Some would cry, “Foolish”
We cry, “Glory!”
You sow your Word
Your Promises
Your Salvation
Your Self
“Glory!” to your grace and mercy
You save us from the stealing
The shallow
The choking thorns
“Glory!” to your deliverance and power
You make our lives good, rich soil
Ready for your seed
In you, we grow up and increase and yield
“Glory!” to your goodness and faithfulness
We rejoice in you and in being your harvest
Help us bear your good and lasting fruit
now and always,
for the honor and glory of your name. Amen
