Opening Prayer of Praise
(inspired by Psalm 63: 1-8)
O God, You are
our God, the One in whom we trust.
We’ve gathered
together today to worship You—
to open our
hearts and minds to Your presence.
We long to meet
You here, and to hear Your voice.
We come with
confidence,
because we’ve met You here before;
we’ve been awed and inspired by Your glory
and Your power.
We come with
gratitude,
because we’ve known Your steadfast love—
a love which is better than life itself.
And so we
praise You—
lifting our
voices, lifting our hands
in joy and expectation.
Come among us
in Your power.
Pour out Your
spirit on our thirsty souls,
that we may be
filled with Your goodness and love.
Amen.
