IV. Prayer

Our heavenly father,

we thank you for your grace and mercy on us.

We really thank you for the opportunity that we gather together here to worship you.

We want to praise your name and your love.

Lord, please forgive our sins.

Even though you always give us everything good,

but we didn't realize it and we didn't thank you for it.

Please forgive our foolishness.

Lord, open our heart and ear so that we may understand your word when we listen.

Lord, help us worship you and understand your word in English.

Bless those who come and worship you this time.

In the name of Jesus Christ we have prayed. Amen.
