The Word of Truth
Lord we thank you for the Truth of your Word, the solid foundation it gives us to live by. The Word of Truth that we know through faith will not crumble underneath us, so we can stride confidently in our life with you.
We prayer for the training of preachers around the world, to share this solid foundation of Truth. Your Truth, not our own truth. That congregations hear your Word and not their own. We pray for the Langham Team in Bolivia, especially Igor Amestequi and Eduardo Rojas, as they train preachers to be true to you and your Word of Truth.
Congregation response – We thank you for your Word of Truth
The Word of Light
Lord we thank you for your Word of Light, as it shines on our path, guiding us in the right direction, showing us dangers and pit falls that are put on our path.
We pray for the work of Langham in writing, publishing and distributing books around the world so people don’t follow their own way, but follow your path, that you shine a light on all our paths through your Word, guiding us away from darkness and confusion. We especially pray for the work happening in the Philippines with the seven Langham writers, as they teach through books your True light.
Congregation response – We thank you for your Word of light.
The Word of Grace
Lord we thank you for your Word of Grace, your unfailing love, compassion, mercy and salvation. We think of the times we have failed you, when we haven’t followed your Word of Truth and Light, when we have followed our own paths thinking we knew better.
Lord it is through the sacrifice of your own Son, our Saviour that we bow our heads now and know the Word of Grace. That we are a forgiven people and it is only through your grace and us continually learning from your grace that we can avoid sin.
Congregation response – We thank you for your Word of Grace
The Word of Life
Lord we thank you for your Word of Life. Your Word that shows righteousness, compassion and love. The Word of Life you give us through your unfailing promises and laws. The Word of life that gives us eternal hope.
We lift up to you the work of Langham in Ethiopia, sharing your Word to those who thought they had lost all hope, all life, but coming to see you in real practical ways through the Word of your Truth, Light, Grace and the ultimate, eternal Life you offer to all.
In a few moments of quietness, we think of people we know of from seeing the news, in our community, in our church and in our family that are crying out for hope.
quietness
Lord we lift these people up to you, we pray that they may come to know of the love you are openly offering to them through your Words of Truth, light, grace and hope.
Congregation response – We thank you for your Word of Life
All our prayers we offer to you Lord, through our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen
