Hear God call you to worship through His Word
“I exalt you, my God the King, and bless your name for ever and ever. I will bless you every day; I will praise your name for ever and ever. The Lord is great and is highly praised; his greatness is unsearchable.” (Psalm 145:1-3)
Prepare your heart for worship
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Give praise to God
O Lord, our King, we exalt you and praise your name forever. Your greatness is beyond what we can grasp or fully understand. We stand in awe of your works. You reign over all creation with power and wisdom, and all you do is right. From everlasting to everlasting, you alone are worthy of all honour and glory. So, we lift our voices in adoration, for you are the King above every king, unchanging and eternal.
Amen.
Confess your sins to God
Merciful God, you have given us a precious faith through the righteousness of your Son. Yet we have taken this gift for granted. Our hearts have been distracted, and we have neglected to grow in our knowledge of you. Forgive us, we pray, and be gracious to us. Draw us closer to yourself, that we may know you more deeply and live in a way that honours you.
Amen.
