Worship Prayers Feb. 12

 CENTERING PRAYER Holy and mighty God, gather us among your faithful ones, the people of your 

covenant, to stand in the light of your gory and listen for the word of the Lord, Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 121) I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and you're coming in from this time on and for evermore.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION God of all glory, beauty, and grace, we try to hide from you – hide our faces, hide our sin – yet you never hide your love for us. We try to search for you – in temples, in clouds, on mountaintops – yet, you already reveal yourself to us in the face of Jesus Christ. Forgive us, transform us, shine upon us so that we might reflect your glory, beauty, and grace. We continue to pray in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession)

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
