God our Father, we come to You as your own people - grateful because You have chosen us for adoption into Your family. You decided this before you every created any of us. You did no t leave this to chance. Your are not about chance, it is Your nature. You are a God who is intentional and it is your intention that we should belong to You as much as Your Son, Jesus Christ. You were the first one and we follow in the way You have made for us and it's eternal! A place for each of us, so that where You are, we may be also, when we choose You. God, You have chosen us, now we muct choose You. We must choose You with all our heart, soul, mind, energy.
Holy Spirit, where is it that I am not choosing You completely?.....Jesus, where I am affraid of being inadequate, or afraid that Your provision will not be adequate, please help my faith in You to grow....
Jesus, all things find their satisfaction in You....We are surrounded by situations and projects and commitments that are incomplete or broken down and we participate in relationships that are not satisfying. We bring these to You now...bring Your presence inoto these situations to heal them as we pray.
Jesus, Your Presence brings wholeness.
From Jane Whitney, given to Jere Douglas after the service.
