CALL
TO WORSHIP (based on Psalm 138)
Come and worship,
all you who love and
serve our God —
who surrounds us with
unfailing love,
and answers us when
we call;
who cares for the
humble and lowly,
and never abandons
those in need.
This is our God,
worthy of our worship
and praise!
HYMN “O
How He Loves You and Me”

PRAYER
OF THE PEOPLE
O Lord
our God, we come together with songs o praise in our hearts because of your unfailing
love and faithfulness, even in these times when we struggle with life’s issues.
We suffer
from fatigue as we deal with an ongoing epidemic, with the problems that divide
us and with the impact of natural disasters.
Sometimes we can’t help but lament, “Not one more thing, Lord!”
Strengthen
our resolve to preserver. Re-kindle hope
and confidence in the future you say you have for us. Listen to our prayers for those who are
suffering. Hear our petitions and assure
us that you have not forgotten us.
Even
though we are fragile and weary people who sometimes cry out, “How much
longer?!?” we proclaim that you are our refuge and our refuge in these
times. You are the God whose love for us
never changes. Thank you that we can confidently
come before you, no matter what, no matter where. Thank you for all your gifts and blessings, especially
for your Son, Jesus Christ, who first taught us to pray:
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 trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.
