Opening hopes for christian worship

Opening Prayers

There’s a great deal to be stated for tradition! Generations of worshipping congregations

have incorporated set hopes inside the opening portion of their weekly services.

These generally cover the styles of adoration, thanksgiving and confession.

And in some way that appears perfect.

Can you explain that?

We start our worship by reminding ourselves of methods awesome goodness is.

Then we thank him for which he’s accomplished for us, which inevitably reminds

us that people really don’t deserve his whim and elegance. That leads us to

confession and accepting by belief the forgiveness that God purports to individuals

who humbly arrived at him and acknowledge their problems.

Here are two teams of opening hopes. More can be found in my ebook ‘The Worship Leader’s Little Helper’

Opening Hopes 1- Theme ‘I will exalt you’

Think about these words from Psalm 145

‘I will exalt you, my God the King I’ll praise your company name

for good and ever.

Every single day I’ll praise you and also celebrate your company name for good and ever’

(A minute of silence )

Creator God, we glimpse your beauty

in sundown, mountain top, eagle’s wing.

We sense your power in thunder crash,

lightning flash and ocean’s roar.

Creator God we praise you

Precious Jesus, we have seen your ex

extended out upon a cruel mix.

We stand it awe at the sacrifice,

pure love put out for humankind.

Precious Jesus we praise you

Holy Spirit, we have seen your power

in lives transformed, hearts burning.

We listen for the still, small voice,

comforting, guiding, calling.

Holy Spirit we praise you

To my words ‘Every day I’ll praise you’

can you respond ‘And celebrate your company name for ever’

As soon as we awake

to manage your day ahead,

you’re around,

through good occasions and bad,

Your presence enough for the needs.

Every single day I’ll praise you

And celebrate your company name for good

With the hrs during the day,

within our travels and work,

you’re around

in decisions we have to make,

Your knowledge enough for the needs.

Every single day I’ll praise you

And celebrate your company name for good

Once we lay lower to relax

in the finish during the day,

you’re around,

once we lay our fears at the ft,

Your peace enough for the needs.

Every single day I’ll praise you

And celebrate your company name for good

A prayer of confession

Lord God, your passion for humankind

present at first of the things,

extends throughout history

and touches even my existence.

Your ex sees failings

and forgives.

Your ex feels discomfort

and wipes away our tears.

Your ex knows grief

and comforts the sorrowful.

Your ex sees crime

but still loves the sinner.

Forgive us whenever we neglect to live

lives that reflect your ex.

Forgive us the numerous occasions

whenever we ignore

the only thing you did for all of us.

Transform us, using your Spirit,

and empower us for everyone you,

this very day and all sorts of days

Amen

Let’s join together within the words that Jesus trained

his disciples..

Opening Hopes 2 – Theme ‘God of ages’

Pay attention to these words from Psalm 40

“I anxiously waited with patience for that LORD he switched in my experience and heard

my cry… He place a new song within my mouth, a hymn of praise to the God.”

To my words ‘God of ages’ can you respond ‘Accept

our sacrifice of praise.’

Eternal God,

it had been your Spirit,

hovering within the waters

in the dawning of this first day.

It had been your voice

echoing with the darkness,

that introduced forth light.

God of every age group

Accept our sacrifice of praise

Eternal God,

it had been your ex

that birthed humankind,

and placed these questions garden.

It had been your hands

that helped these to their ft,

every time they fell.

God of every age group

Accept our sacrifice of praise

Eternal God,

it had been your prophets

who spoke forth your word,

to some rebellious generation.

It had been your Boy

who demonstrated the depth of affection

that won’t let’s go.

God of every age group

Accept our sacrifice of praise

God of existence,

whose love enfolds us,

and spirit fills us,

we praise your holy name.

God of pleasure,

whose sunrise wakes us,

and sunset amazes us,

we praise your holy name.

God of hope,

whose promise sustains us,

and power upholds us,

we praise your holy name.

God of affection,

whose persistence humbles us,

and touch can heal us,

we praise your holy name.

God of peace,

who breaks lower barriers,

and walls that divide us,

we praise your holy name.

God of eternity,

that has always loved us,

by elegance has saved us,

we praise your holy name

Spend a minute considering everything God is and

has been doing for all of us, and think about your own personal reaction to his elegance.

God of every age group,

who from one generation to another

has heard the cries of the children

humbly seeking forgiveness,

and it has welcomed sinners

back to your embrace,

hear the ideas in our hearts,

examine our motives,

forgive us our problems,

of word and action.

We find out using your Boy,

who died that people might know

the real price of forgiveness.

AMEN

Let’s join together within the words that Jesus trained

his disciples..

Opening Hopes 3 – A Celtic Theme

Pay attention to the language from the Psalmist

“The voice from the LORD has ended the waters the God of glory thunders,

god thunders within the mighty waters. The voice from the LORD is effective

the voice from the LORD is regal.”

Psalm 29:3-4

To my words ‘The Lord reigns, allow the earth be happy ‘would

you respond ‘And the distant shores rejoice’

God reigns, allow the earth be happy

And distant shores rejoice

You who spoke our planet moving,

breathed existence into each creature,

colored landscapes

in colourful hues,

you’re goodness.

God reigns, allow the earth be happy

And distant shores rejoice

You who provide us each season

light and heat, rain and sunshine,

and inside the seed

a spark of existence,

you’re goodness.

God reigns, allow the earth be happy

And distant shores rejoice

You whose love is beyond measure

and stretches throughout time,

from the garden in Eden,

to Gethsemene and beyond,

you’re goodness

God reigns, allow the earth be happy

And distant shores rejoice

Through the word in our Lord the celebs were created

Through the spirit in our Lord was existence begun

Through the knowledge in our Lord his laws and regulations were laid

Through the passion for our Lord was created his Boy

Through the elegance in our Lord mankind was saved

By the strength of our Lord the victory was won

A prayer of confession

Creator God,

forgive our moments of ingratitude,

the spiritual blindness that stops us

from appreciating the question that’s our planet,

the endless cycle of nature,

of existence and dying and rebirth.

Forgive us to take without giving,

reaping without sowing.

Open our eyes to determine,

our lips to praise,

our hands to talk about.

May our ft tread gently on the way we tread,

and our actions be worth following,

for they result in you.

Let’s join together within the words from the Lord’s

Prayer

Our Father……….
