DIY Sunday Service Kit 04/06/2023 - My strength was sapped (a 'special' in the heat of summer) ... Psalm 32:4

 

Welcome to this short form DIY Sunday Service Kit this week which comes to you in this hot, dry week around the themes of Psalm 32 and with a (video only) Word for the Week from Psalm 32:4

Let's pray

Lord and father we thank you that in our weakness you are our strength, that in the parched tome in our lives you provide us with living water through a living relationship with the Living God, and the when we have been battered by hard experience in our weakness, our lack of wisdom or our own deliberate choice you stand by to renew or strength.

Lead us afresh to yourself today, we pray.

Lead us to the Rock that is higher than us.

Take us into your Word and lead us to listen to you so that you may plant our feet securely in a firm place, and we stand in the strength our God supplies.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

AMEN.

Let's read Psalm 32

Here is the Word for the Week

Now here's a word of testimony around this theme and 

a song that goes with it 

Pray

Lord and Father we confess before you that even this week we have had things in our lives to regret having thought, done, not thought of and not  done when we should have done.

Like the person in that video, we have had things that we might've preferred to keep out of the sight of the Father we know actually sees it all and knows us through and through.

Please forgive us for our lack of openness, sincerity and integrity before you.

We thank you that, as you know every inclination of the thoughts of our hearts ... all the time ... you have made provision for our sins and our failures at the Cross and from the grave of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Will you please give us true repentance and grant us genuine, Holy Spirit given amendment of life ... and lead us in your everlasting way, strengthening us to walk more closely with you in the week that lies ahead.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

Amen.

Let's pray

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us –

so that His ways may be known on earth,
    His salvation among all nations.

May the peoples praise you, God;

    may all the peoples praise you

May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you rule the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations of the earth.

May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

AMEN.
