Day 10

Call to Prayer

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray that you guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

from the Book of Common Prayer

Silence

Psalm 118:19–24

Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the LORD.
This is the gate of the LORD;
the righteous shall enter through it.
I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is the LORD’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Read Acts 4:1-22

Prayer of Response

God, give us boldness to proclaim the gospel. Give us the confidence that our proclamation rests in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Be gracious to us, that our boldness would reflect the reality of Christ. Amen. 

Prayers of Supplication

Boldness to share our lives and the gospel with our neighbors
A spirit of humility and generosity in our lives
For friends and family members to believe the gospel and submit to Jesus
For the children in our church
