     Gracious Heavenly Father, we come before You with gratitude and thanksgiving.      
     Lord, may we keep away all our wavering and evil thoughts and enter Your sanctuary with reverence. Let our worship this Sunday be in awe of who You are and what You can do in our lives when we deny ourselves and kneel at the Cross ✝️. 
     Lord, may we not doubt and hold back ourselves to come to You for the healing from our spiritual paralysis we all suffer, even when we are rebuffed by the implacable nature of this world. 
     Lord, we come to You through the Son of Man who has all the authority on earth to forgive and heal us. We are amazed and bring glory to Your Holy name.
     Lord, we commend into Your hands all our relatives, friends and neighbours. Heal and remove everything that paralyses them and brings stress and grief to their hearts. 
     Lord, help us to be as supportive and encouraging as we can possibly be, as a source of strength through our prayers and actions to all those we are to meet today and the new week. 
     Lord, may we be obedient to Your Word and be worthy to receive all the blessings You have in store for us. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
