Informed by Ephesians 2:10 & Psalm 100.
Risen Lord Jesus, We come today seeking to know You and Your communion with Your Heavenly Father and with Your Spirit. You understand us better than we understand ourselves. You walked among people and saw into our hearts and ways. We want to walk with You through our lives, our decisions, our work.
Our spirits want to Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship You with gladness;
And come before you with joyful songs.
We Know that You are the Lord our God.
You made us, and we are Yours,
we are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture.|
We enter Your gates with thanksgiving
and Your courts with praise;
We give thanks to you and praise Your name.
For You are good and Your love endures forever;
Your faithfulness continues through all generations.
We lift up to You the people of Kashmir and ask for Your protection and Your joy. As Hong Kong protests have turned violent and the political tensions have come to UBC campus, we ask for wisdom, truth, and righteousness. We pray for the Canadian elections; may you open us up to discuss and search for policies that foster life and godliness; may we elect people who are pursuing justice.
Lord, make us a people who delight in Your creation and join You in the good works you’ve prepared in advance for us to do.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Please join me in praying the Lord’s prayer.
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one;
for yours is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.
Amen.
