Matthew 22:37-38 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, "‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment."
Prayer
Almighty God, Maker of all, to You and You alone belong all of creation. We are Yours. Praise be to You, our merciful God. Today, we can worship You in spirit and in truth because You have redeemed us for Yourself. Not to us but unto You be all glory and honor. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Worship through Songs
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-32 PRAYER 祈禱
Matthew 7:7-11; Mark 11:24-25; John 14:13-14; Romans 8:26; Hebrews 4:15-16 (NKJV)
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Song of Response
Worship through Prayer
Lord, in everything, let my heart yield to Your will. You know the desires of my heart. I know I have to surrender all of my will to You. Help me for it is difficult to let go of what I want. Help my whole heart truly be able to say, "Let Your will be done in my life."
You have called me to be holy because You are holy. Help me live in righteousness every moment of my life. Give me a godly repulsion to sin and wickedness. Let me desire to be free of any sin that entangles me. Save me and free me from all bondages of sin in my life.
Lord, thank You for the promise to always be with me. My confidence in this life and the next comes from this truth. Your loving presence is home for my soul both now and forevermore. If You are with me, I am perfectly well in every way. Thank You so much. I love You, Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
