Passage: Romans 12:1-2

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Prayer

Father,

We thank you for the blessing that it is that we get to come together as a church this morning and worship you. We thank you for the blessing of being able to know you and call upon you.

Lord, open our hearts and minds this morning by the power of your Holy Spirit as we read your Holy Word. Help us to hear and to understand.

May we not be blinded or distracted or enamored by the world, but may be we be totally devoted to you. May all that we are, all of our thoughts, all of our words, all of our actions, and all of our hearts be your’s. A living sacrifice for you. Holy and pleasing.

It is in your name we pray.

Amen
