Lord we come into your presence, sinners and unworthy but made righteous in your sight because of Jesus.
Father God, the star that led the Magi to the stable announced to the world that its Saviour was born. Today we live in a world that is still covered by darkness, and still needing to make that journey to the stable door. May our lives reflect your light day by day, as we seek to serve you where we are; that we might be the means through which others can encounter Jesus Christ.
We are drawn to your feet in worship with hearts laid bare by your light, humbly asking for your mercy. We come to you as a people in need of assurance and forgiveness. We come to you as a people in need of healing and wholeness. We come dependent upon your love. Draw us close to you; shelter us under your wings and fill us with your Spirit that we might reflect your light within this dark world, speak your Word with boldness and draw others to your side.
We pray for each other and we thank you for each other. Please make each one of us a living stone, building your church here; give us the desire to serve you and each other with a glad heart.
You speak to us in many ways, through rushing wind or still small voice, through the reading of Scripture’s Word or through those who bring that word to us faithfully. Let us also find ways to hear the world’s insistent voice and ways to break through the noise to proclaim the wonder of your grace that was planned long ago. Help us hear your voice above the clamour of this world, recognise the difference and follow only you.
We bring before you our friends, our families and the church family. You know what each person needs. For those who need a Saviour open their eyes, for those who need spiritual strength send your assurance, for those who need comfort send your peace.
We pray for our Nation and those having to make decisions. We pray that they will be guided in right ways. We pray for the community here in Stalham and pray that everything we do as a church we do for your glory and honour. We pray for your church around the world that it always will be a light shining in the darkness that will draw people to Jesus.
