Worship Prayers for April 2

 CENTERING PRAYER


 

God of Salvation, our lord entered into this world to raise us to life. In the holiest of weeks, help us to walk the way of the cross, that we may be raised in a resurrection like his and dwell forever in you, Eternal God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen

 

 

CALL TO WORSHIP

 

Awake to the day of triumph for our Savior!

Give thanks for this day that leads to the cross!

Come with your branches, hosannas, and songs!

Fill the air with welcome to the Lord!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

           

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

 

Triumphal Savior, we confess we are filled with sin. We try to deny it, but we continue to abandon and forsake you. We are horrified by the suffering we cause to you, ourselves, and the world you created. Open the gates of your forgiveness and restore us in you love, for the sake of our Savior, Jesus Christ. (Silent Confession)

 


 

OFFERING

 

Jesus gave himself for the life of the world. With humble hearts bowed in awe, let us offer ourselves and our gifts to God. Please pray with me.

 

Holy God, we give thanks for your saving love made known to us in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Bless these gifts that that they may bring life on earth as in heaven; in Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
