7. Request for Sunday's opening
prayer (see note below on #4 of script 113):
As prayed so many
years ago by a monk who
got it/You:
"Oh, God, fix my heart so I may
perfectly love
You and worthily praise You."
This time is for
praising and honoring and
thanking You for
Your many favors in time
and throughout
eternity.
This time is for
thanking You for our deacons
and helpers who
fed two dozen families last
week.
This time is for
thanking You for everyone in
our community who
helped feed the poor and
those who often
feel alienated from the
community at the
annual Harvest Meal; and
we're really
thankful for the many kind saints
from our family
of faith who helped lead and
serve...
This time is for
thanking You for family
feasting on food
and each other's love
on Thursday.
This time is for
thanking You for how You
are caring for...
This time is for
thanking You for blessing
our nation beyond
anything imaginable for
so long with
prayers that we will bless You
as You have
blessed us - faithfully...
Oh, Lord, Solomon
got it/You: "Do not
withhold good
when it is in your power."
As You have
blessed us, help us to bless
others as
blessing You; recalling how You
said, "As
you do it for..."
Now, Lord, as we
begin this worship
service, help us
by Your Holy Spirit to
sharpen our focus
on You in this time,
turn off our
cellulars and stop texting
and put watches
in our pockets, let go
of this time so
You may lead us for
Your pleasure and
our benefit as we
pray in the name
of Jesus.
Amen.
Blessings and Love!
