Father of Light and Wisdom,

thank you for giving us Come fill our lives with Your love,
a mind that can know Fill our conversations with Your grace and truth,
and a heart that can love. Fill this meeting with Your presence.

Help me to keep learning every day of my life-- We ask this for Your glory and praise.
no matter what the subject may be.
Let me be convinced that all knowledge leads to Amen Commented [U1]:
you
and let me know how to find you and love you
in all the things you have made.

Encourage me when the studies are difficult

and when I am tempted to give up
Enlighten me when my brain is slow
and help me to grasp the truth held out to me.

Grant me the grace to put my knowledge to use

in building the kingdom of God on earth
so that I may enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
Amen.

As we gather here in the harbour of your

safety
We thank you for fellowship and family.

We ask that you will strengthen us, restore us

and inspire us with your love.
Lord, would you fill us with your peace
So that as we journey onwards
We would pour out your love and grace to
others.
We ask that our souls would catch the wind of
your spirit
so that we would take your promises to all the
earth.

Amen

Dear Father,

We thank you for everyone gathered here now.

Thank you that you know each of us by name and
have caused us to walk with You.
We say that we are dependant on You and our trust
is in You completely.
As we surrender ourselves in adoration we ask that
You would come by Your Holy Spirit and inspire
our hearts today.
