Call to Prayer

Organize my days, I pray, by the working of your Spirit in my midst. Organize my thoughts, I pray, by the working of your Spirit in my mind. Organize my emotions, I pray, by the working of your Spirit in my inmost heart. Organize my desires, I pray, by the working of your Spirit in my will. Organize my relationships, I pray, by the working of your Spirit in my labor, home, and leisure. Illuminate this life, God, illuminate me.

from “Canyon Road: A Book of Prayer” by Kari Kristina Reeves

Silence

Psalm 29:1-4

Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD, over many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

Read Acts 1:6-11

Prayer of Response

Lord, we thank you that you have not left us to our own devices but have given us your Holy Spirit. Give us courage to be witnesses in our homes, neighborhoods, work places, and in our city. We pray in the name of Jesus, who has all authority. Amen.

Prayers of Supplication

For the neighbors on my street.
For opportunities to share the gospel with people.
For churches in Lexington to faithfully proclaim Christ.
