Opening Prayer:

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.


Confession of Sin & Prayer for Grace

God of Truth: I confess today the sin of Dishonesty. Rather than walking in the light, I have walked in darkness. My mind has conceived deceit, my lips have uttered falsehood, my heart has been cold toward the truth. In your mercy, forgive me. And remind me that because Jesus died for me, I need not be ashamed, but can freely admit all my faults and failures. My hope is not in my own goodness, but in your mercy to me through Jesus Christ. By Your Spirit, help me speak truth and walk in light today. Amen.


Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 25:1-9


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: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5


Prayer of Adoration:

God: I praise you for the Holy Scriptures, which are your very words, breathed out from your own mouth. Thank you that your word is reliable, unbreakable, and powerful, able to make me wise for salvation through faith in Christ. May I always treasure your word and never take it for granted.


Psalm Reading: Psalm 140


Prayer of Consecration

O God: today I pray with the Psalmist: “Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked!” There are ungodly people in this world who plot evil and devise violence. But you are a God of righteousness, who loves what is good. In your mercy, bring the plans of the wicked to ruin; do not let their schemes succeed. Make me mindful of any ways I might be furthering evil in the world - especially in the words I speak. This Psalm mentions the lips and the tongue as the starting place of violence. So let not my tongue speak evil today; instead, may my words be full of praise, prayer, and honor. Let my mouth give thanks to your name throughout this day, and let my mind and heart be conscious of your presence.


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.
