Heavenly Father, as stated in Your Word, there is an appointed time for everything: A time for every event under Heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

So we return here to this House, at this appointed time, to do the right thing, for the right reason. Help us to recognize our own inadequacies and remind us to depend upon You for the knowledge, wisdom and courage to do what is right. Help us to resist the pressures to violate our conscience. May You be our daily source of strength, wisdom and courage.

Lord God, You know the needs of each person here. Strengthen those who are feeble, heal those who are sick, calm those who are troubled, refresh those who are weary and reassure those who lack confidence. Let all experience Your grace in their every necessity and trial.

Now may You, Lord God, our Father, who has loved us by Your grace and given us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope; comfort and strengthen us in every good thing You do and say.
