"In Worship"

Merciful and Holy Father,

As we gather in your presence today, we will lift our hearts in thanks and praise.

We thank you for the gift of time, fellowship, worship, and edification —a time to come together as a community of faith.

We acknowledge your sovereignty and the countless blessings you bestow upon us daily despite our unworthiness.

May our worship be sweet to your ears, filled with glorification and thanksgiving for your unending mercy, love, and grace.

We humbly ask for your presence to guide us throughout today, tomorrow, and the days to come as we navigate this world, preparing for the time when we will stand in your presence and be at home.

We give thanks for your constant protection, mediation, and companionship.

In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray, Amen.
