HIS WORDS

Prayer written by Pastor Charles Cloy (February 2021)

God, we thank you tonight for the hope that you have given us through you. Our lives would be nothing without you. Our hope is in you and only you. You saved us from sin and brought us back to life again. We thank you for being able to live in you, love in you, breathe in you, walk in you, and have our total existence of holiness and righteousness in you. Lord, we want to thank you for speaking over our needs on earth and also in heaven. Christ Jesus, we cannot put into words what we need when we pray or sing. Holy Spirit we need you to catch the energy from our feelings and say to God to release anointing so that we may be able to see more of God and less of us. Holy Spirit we are because you called us into prayer with the theme of “O God our help in ages past our hope for years to come.” And you Lord Jesus you put in on our minds and lips to cry all morning and all day that our hope is built on Jesus Christ and that we will continue to trust in you, Lord, no matter what shows up in our lives. And we are shouting right now because of your healing and because every good gift we need is here right now. God, you are a right now God. Thank you for the Holy power that keeps us running when no one is chasing us because you are whispering to us: run and see what the end will be because we have life now and forever more! God, thank you! Jesus Christ thank you! Jesus! Jesus! Thank you! Amen.

Reconciling God, you invite us to be in a right relationship with you. Thank you for making Jesus Christ who took on sin for us, so that we could become the righteousness of God. Lord at the acceptable time we hear your call and we accept this day of salvation. O Holy One, we ask for your grace so that we will not be a stumbling block to anyone by allowing fault to be found in our lives. Lord God, on this day we gather to remember. We remember his love for his family. We remember his journey through life. We remember the price he paid for being different. Today we gather to be present. Gracious God, this day we gather to remember. Thank you for Jesus! Thank you for your presence! Thank you for your love. In the name of Christ, we pray. Amen.
