Shared Prayer

God of all grace We praise You, for You are gracious and kind, and Your mercy never fails. Your word invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace, so we come, not with shame, but with confidence, because Jesus has opened the way for us. You have promised mercy for us there, and grace to help in our time of need, and we trust that promise according to Your Word. So we bring You our weakness, our worry, and the pressures we cannot carry alone. Where we have sinned, give us mercy. Where we are weary and afraid, give us grace to stand. Teach us to run to You first, not last, believing that with God nothing shall be impossible. Thank You for a throne where we are never turned away, and for a Savior who understands every struggle we face. We rest in Your kindness and receive the help only You can give. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
