\nThis prayer sheet<\/span> brings together prayers on the theme of God’s power to transform lives and circumstances and his ultimate purpose and promise to make all things new.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

A. CALL TO WORSHIP<\/strong>
\n(inspired by Matt 11:29 and Rev 21:5)<\/em><\/p>\n

Come all who are weary
\nof wealth, of poverty,
\nof power, of struggle, of division<\/p>\n

Come all who are heavy-laden
\nwith too much, with too little,
\nwith anxiety, with fear, with anger<\/p>\n

Come all who have hope
\nfor liberation, for peace,
\nfor freedom, for the kingdom<\/p>\n

Hear these words
\n\u201cSee, I am making all things new.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

B. SONG<\/strong> (link to music in credits below)<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.irenebom.com\/songwriter\/playlist3\/yesterdaytodayforever.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Yesterday, today, forever
\nJesus is the same
\nAll may change but Jesus never
\nGlory to His Name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He’s the same
\nthrough the rise and fall of nations.
\nHe’s the same,
\nwhether I believe or doubt.
\nHe’s the same
\nthrough all the changing seasons,
\nAnd His faithfulness and mercy
\nwon’t run out.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, today, forever \u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

C. PRAYER OF CONFESSION<\/strong>
\n(based on John 18:15-18, 25-27; 19:1-3)<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord we deny you
\neach time we refuse to see you
\nin the faces of the hungry and the homeless.<\/p>\n

May the old in us pass away
\nand all things become new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord we betray you
\neach time we keep our distance
\nfrom the anguish of the oppressed
\nand the persecuted.<\/p>\n

May the old in us pass away
\nand all things become new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord we mock you
\neach time we pretend we do not know
\nhow radically you call us to live.<\/p>\n

May the old in us pass away
\nand all things become new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord, we have strayed from your path.
\nWelcome us into your forgiving arms
\nand make us new.<\/p>\n

May the old in us pass away
\nand all things become new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through Christ our Lord,
\nAmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

D. PRAYER<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the beginning God created all things,
\nand God saw that they were good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At our beginning, God created us
\nunique and irreplaceable,
\nloved and wanted by God,
\nknown and treasured by God
\neven before He created us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In all our new beginnings,
\nGod creates something new
\nLord God, King of Creation,
\nopen our eyes to see your presence,
\nopen our souls to sense your presence,
\nand open our hearts to love your presence,
\nhere in this life,
\nand beyond it in eternity.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

E. READING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rev 21:1-5a<\/p>\n

\n

F. LET US PRAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.\u201d (Col 1:13)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let us pray \u2026<\/p>\n

\n

G. CLOSING PRAYER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loving God,
\nwe ask your blessing on those
\nfor whom we have prayed,
\nand also on the many
\nwho never capture our attention
\nor make it into our prayers.
\nThrough our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
\nwho promises to make all things new.
\nAmen<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

H. BENEDICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

May grace and peace be ours in abundance,
\nin the knowledge of God
\nand of Jesus our Lord.
\nMay we be thankful for simple things,
\nfor friendship, for health,
\nfor daily bread, for good news.
\nMay we go from this place to pursue goodness,
\nwisdom, holiness and love.<\/p>\n

God the Creator,
\ncall us to the work of the kingdom.
\nGod the Redeemer,
\nkeep us from stumbling.
\nGod the Sustainer,
\ntransform and inspire us.
\nGod of wonders, make all things new.
\nAmen<\/strong><\/p>\n
