I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.
Father, we gather as a solemn assembly this morning to hear a word from you. Speak to our hearts Lord and we will be satisfied. We worship you for your loving kindness and tender mercies: which are renewed every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. We praise you for your affection, protection, election and unending blessings. You alone are worthy to be worshipped and adored. Hallowed be thy holy name.
Lord, we truly desire to spend these precious moments of sacred communication expressing our gratitude and thankfulness for the life you’ve given us. Irrespective of the hurt from the past or challenges ahead, in balance, you’ve been so very good. You’ve been our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer. You’ve been our shelter in times of storm and our everlasting sanctuary. Thank you for selecting each of us for this amazing journey.
Holy Spirit, we seek to work for righteousness today as never before. We desire to instill, institute, and execute your purpose in our lives today. Lead us, guide us and prepare us to be victorious for any event that may occur. Cause us to be witnesses of your grace, kindness and mercy to a world that desperately needs you. It’s in Jesus name that we ask these things in prayer.
Amen
