Opening Prayer:

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.


Confession of Sin & Prayer for Grace

Almighty God: I confess with the Psalmist that your law is perfect. The way of your commandments is the way of life; your statutes are full of wisdom. Yet I have violated your law; I have broken your commandments; I have dishonored your name. I ask your forgiveness; and I thank you for sending Jesus, who perfectly obeyed your law and died for my sin so that I might live to righteousness. By Your grace, fill me with Your Spirit, that I might walk in wholehearted obedience to you. Amen.


Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 48


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 10:21-24


Prayer of Adoration:

I adore you, Lord Jesus, for all things have been handed over to you by the Father. In you the fullness of God dwells, and you possess all wisdom, knowledge, dominion and power. Yet, to those with eyes to see, you have revealed yourself; to those with ears to hear, you have spoken; to those with hearts to receive, you have given abundantly.


Psalm Reading: Psalm 89: 19-37


Prayer of Consecration

Father, as I walk through this Advent season, remind me of your steadfast love. Let me see how Jesus answers promises of this psalm. Through his incarnation, he showed that your love would be built up forever and your faithfulness would be established in the heavens. You made your covenant with David, and you fulfilled that covenant by establishing the throne of Jesus for all generations. Heaven and earth are his, for from him and through him and to him are all things. As I remember his first coming and look forward to his second, I rejoice that he’s my glory, my shield, and my king.


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.
