For the Week Past

Father in heaven, we thank You now in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, and we ask that Your Holy Spirit would be with us here as we celebrate the arrival of yet another Lord’s Day. We thank You for the week past, and how it was built on the last Lord’s Day, and we look forward in faith to the coming week, looking for the same blessing. We ask that the good works You have prepared in advance for us to do would be solidly fixed on this day, and our worship of You in the morning. We pray that You would bless the ministry of the Word tomorrow, and our celebration of the Lord’s Supper. We thank You for the food and wine here now, for the hands that prepared it all, and we ask that You would anoint our fellowship for Jesus’ sake. For we pray in His name, and amen.
