OPENING PRAYER: (in unison)
Holy and Gracious God,
As we come before You today, help us to approach You with humble hearts, like the tax collector in Your Word.
Remind us that we are not made right by our own works, but by Your mercy and grace.
Open our hearts to hear Your truth, and shape us to walk in humility and love.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

SONG OF PRAYER: “Sweet Hour of Prayer” (1st verse only) #496
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father’s throne make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after 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 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.
(Matthew 6:9-13)
