Here’s
an opening prayer of invocation from the My
Redeemer Lives website.
Opening Prayer
Gentle...yet
powerful.
Lowly...yet
almighty.
Shepherd...yet
King.
In
Your gentleness,
guide us.
In
Your power,
strengthen us.
In
Your lowliness,
strip from us our selfish pride
which only destroys us.
In
Your greatness,
lift us up that we might aspire to greater
things.
As
a shepherd,
call us to be Your servants.
As
a King,
call us to be Your royal priesthood.
O
God,
who is our shepherd and our King;
O
Christ,
who was crucified and is now risen from the
dead;
O
Spirit,
who comforts and empowers;
O
great One in Three, Holy Trinity,
this
hour, set us free to worship. Amen.
