Prayer of Adoration
and Confession
Gracious Lord, throughout our lives
we seek opportunities to serve and worship You. On this holy day, accept our
praises and thanksgiving. You are our strength and salvation, as well as our
source of hope and healing. Each day, we place our lives and dreams into Your
hands. Each time we do this, You do not disappoint us.
Merciful Father, we know that our disobedience diminishes our faith. We understand that our spiteful words and hurtful deeds distress others and disappoint You. Forgive us for being self-centered and full of pride. Pardon our vain and shallow ways. Help us to turn to You for mercy and grace; forgiveness and pardon. Hear us now as we pray.
- SILENCE -
Eternal God, we are indebted to You for sending Jesus into our world. He has given His life as the everlasting sacrifice for all of our mistakes, regrets, and sins. We pledge our lives to Him and place ourselves under His authority. Hear us now as we pray in Christ’s own words:

In times of illness and crisis, be ever faithful. May we know of Your complete
joy; may we be strengthened by Your kindness.

our loved ones. Heal us in body, mind, heart, and soul. Hear us now as we
