Opening Prayer:

Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes! I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things in your law.


Confession of Sin & Prayer for Grace

O Lord, I acknowledge before you my sin, my wounds, and my weakness. I need your forgiveness; I need your healing; I need your strength. In Christ, you draw near to the weak and needy. You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Forgive my sin, for Jesus’ sake. Heal my wounds, for Jesus’ sake. Show your strength in my weakness, for Jesus’ sake. By your Spirit, empower me today to delight in you and to obey your will, seeking your glory above all else. Amen.  


Old Testament Reading: 2 Samuel 11:26-12:15a


The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,  forever. Amen.


New Testament Reading: John 6:22-35


Prayer of Adoration:

Lord Jesus, I adore you because you truly satisfy. All of my deepest longings and desires find their fulfillment in you. You are the true bread from heaven, who gives life to the world. 


Psalm Reading: Psalm 71:17-24


Prayer of Consecration

I thank you, Lord, that you care for me in every season of my life. Whether I’m newly following you, or have walked with you my whole life, you prove to me over and over that I can trust in you. This doesn’t mean I have to pretend that life is easy or perfect. The psalm speaks honestly of troubles and calamities, acknowledging that life is hard. Your people will face suffering, even tragedy, so help me to respond to hard times by clinging tightly to you. Remind me of your faithful care in years gone by, so that I can be strengthened when I feel afraid. Help me pass those stories on to others, speaking often of your righteous help. Fill my mind and heart with songs of gratitude, so that I can remember and celebrate your lovingkindness. 


BENEDICTION

And now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and always, until the day of Christ's return.
