Saturday -- Prayers of preparing our hearts





Prayer: 

 Jesus,  You call us to be the Church which is Your body.  You formed us to be a congregation of brothers and sisters, sharing a common faith and hope.  Yet we are not always good people.  Sometimes we disagree with the Minister and Elders.  Sometimes we grow weary of yet another sermon that is preached without hope.  Jesus Christ, Son of God,  we come before You today to ask for forgiveness in our discouragement and disheartened souls.  We pray together and confess the faith of the Church…. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.  I believe in Jesus Christ,  His only Son,  our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,  suffered under Pontius Pilate,  was crucified, died, and was buried.  He descended to the dead.  On the third day he rose again.  He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit,  the holy catholic church,  the communion of saints,  the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.
