Opening Prayer:

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.


Confession of Sin & Prayer for Grace

Holy God: Dust I am, and to dust I shall return. I am like a flower of the field, that appears for a little while and then vanishes. But I confess my tendency to live days, weeks, even months at a time with little thought for my mortality, and little consideration for eternity. Forgive my presumption and self-reliance. Humble me to the dust, that I might be ever-mindful of my frailty, and freshly awed by your eternal, infinite beauty. Through Christ, our Lord: Amen.        


Old Testament Reading: Proverbs 6


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:  Luke 19:1-10


Prayer of Adoration:

Lord Jesus: I praise you for coming to seek and save the lost. In taking on our nature, in being the guest of sinners, you bring your salvation near, and show your kindness and mercy.


Psalm Reading: Psalm 32


Prayer of Consecration

O God, how amazing that you count no iniquity against me! In Jesus Christ, you have canceled the debt of my sin. Furthermore, you have credited to me the righteousness of Christ by faith, as though I had never sinned nor been a sinner. May I never take such forgiveness for granted! Instead, may I be moved to acknowledge my sin to you, and to confess my iniquity. Today, let me not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding. Instead, let me willingly submit to the Holy Spirit, who teaches and instructs me in the way I should go. Surround me today with your steadfast love, and let me rejoice in your salvation!


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.
