Prayer of Praise: Psalm
132:13-18
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of
Heaven and Earth, You have chosen us for Your dwelling place. You have promised
that You will be our God and we will be Your people. Because of your great
promises we have come to your tabernacle and now seek to worship at your
footstool. We cry out to you that would keep these promises as we enter the
heavenly sanctuary. We ask you to clothe us, your priests, with salvation and
put shouts of joy in our mouths. We pray
that all our enemies would be put shame and that for the sake of Christ we
would flourish like a well-watered vine. This we pray in the strong Name of
Jesus. Amen!
Prayer for Illumination:
Psalm 119:65-72
O Lord our God we praise you for your Word, which is
mighty unto salvation for all men. We give you thanks for you have dealt well
with us according to your Word. O Lord speak to us now as we hear your Word
read and preached. Afflict us if we have gone astray and help us to keep your
Word. For we know that it is good to be
afflicted that we might learn to keep your statutes. Above all teach us to delight
in the Scriptures, for the law of your mouth is better to us than a thousand
gold pieces. In the strong name of Christ we pray. Amen!
Eucharistic Prayers
Bread: Noah’s Ark
Almighty
God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, it truly, right and good and our duty
that we should at all times and in all places give You thanks and magnify Your
Holy Name, therefore with the Angels, the Archangels and all the company of
heaven we praise You saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and
earth are full of Your glory. Glory be to You, O Lord Most High.
We praise you Almighty God for the great flood you sent
upon the earth so long ago. The earth was corrupt. The wickedness of man was
great. Indeed, every thought of his heart was evil. Yet Noah found grace in
your eyes and you delivered him through the flood. He came forth upon a purged
earth and gave to you a burnt offering in thanksgiving. We like Noah have been
delivered from your wrath because of your grace. As we eat , nourish us upon
Christ and give to us hearts of thanksgiving for your great salvation. In the
name of Christ we pray. Amen!
Wine: Titus 3:3-8
O
Lord you are worthy of blessing and honor for you sent your only begotten Son
into the world to deliver us from sin and the Devil’s snare. We know that we
were once disobedient fools, serving our lusts and pleasures, full of malice,
envy and hate. But then your kindness appeared and you saved us, not by works
of righteousness, but according to your abundant mercy, through the washing of
regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. For this great salvation we give
you hearty thanks and praise. As we drink this wine, strengthen us upon Christ
that we might be a people zealous for good works. For the sake of Christ and
His Kingdom. Amen!
