PRAYER TEAM

“O Lord, Open My Lips, and My Mouth Will Declare Your Praise." Ps 51:18
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
for you.” 1 Thess. 5:16-17
“Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels,
numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who
was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” Rev. 5:11-12
“He who testifies of these things says, 'Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” Rev. 22:20
"O God of God, O Light of Light”
“Then raise to Christ a mighty song,
And shout His name, His mercies tell!
Sing, heav’nly host, your praises prolong,
And all on earth, your anthem swell!
All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain!
Forever let the song ascend!
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,
All glory, pow’r! Amen. Amen.”
Lutheran Service Book, Hymn #810
Blessed Redeemer, You conquered sin, death, and the devil. May we, along with Your whole Church on earth and
heaven,
continue praying with full confidence and a joyful expectation, “Come, Lord Jesus!” Amen.
“The path to joy always runs through repentance.”
Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod,
67th Regular Convention of the LCMS Opening Service, July 20, 2019
