We come before you with hearts full of gratitude and praise.
Your steadfast love endures forever, and your faithfulness reaches to the heavens.
We thank you for being our strength and our song, and for becoming our salvation.
Lord, just as the psalmist rejoiced in your deliverance,
we too rejoice in the victory you have given us through Jesus Christ.
When we are pushed hard, feeling as if we are falling, you, Lord, are our help.
You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
We will not fear, for you are with us all the days of our lives.
Amen

Father, you are the king of heaven, above all forms of earthly kingship;
Jesus, you are the king of love incarnate, our Saviour, lover of souls;
Holy Spirit, you are the spirit of divine kingship, surging among us in power and glory.
We adore you, not with gold and jewels or the symbols of earthly rulers,
but with hearts and minds open to the love and wisdom of your divine leadership.
Amen

Living and Loving God, just as you restored health to the woman who touched Jesus’ robe and brought life to Jairus’ daughter, we come to you in faith, believing in your power to heal and restore. Touch our lives and the lives of those we hold dear, that we may experience your miraculous healing in the coming week. Strengthen our faith to trust in your timing and your will in n Jesus’ name.
Amen

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good thing,
graft in our hearts the love of your Name, increase in us true religion,
nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen

Restless God, we know that you never rest in your love and concern for all of creation.
We know that you ceaselessly search us out, calling us to be here together
in prayer and song and word.
We know that you do not rest until justice rains down on the earth and until mercy flows like a river.
We are your people, your community, your family.
Today we open ourselves to your restless Spirit
and live in expectation of your transformative work in our lives.
Amen

Loving and merciful God, in your bountiful goodness, you nourish and sustain us with the bread of life.
As we journey through the challenges of this world, grant us the wisdom to discern your will,
the courage to follow your commandments, and the perseverance to abide in your love.
May we grow in holiness and be a light to those around us, that in all things, your glory may resound.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

God who made the soil and sky, may our praise reveal your beauty.
In your mercy, grant us the wisdom to care for the earth and till it.
Help us to act now for the good of future generations and all your creatures.
Help us to become instruments of a new creation, founded on the covenant of your unconditional love.
Amen
