Heaven
Philippians 1:12-26

Our Father,
Fix our eyes and our hearts on heaven.
May we live for the day when we are with Christ,
Knowing that is better by far.
May we live as if heaven is gain.
May we rejoice in Christ.
May we proclaim Christ,
So that others may also know Jesus.
Amen

Exploding Love
Philippians 1:3-11

Our loving, heavenly Father,

You have begun a good work in us,
And you will bring it to completion on the day of Christ.
Forgive us for not abounding in love.
May our love abound.
May we desire love.
Forgive us for attempting love without knowledge and discernment.
Make our abounding love, knowledgeable and clear thinking
Make us pure and blameless.
Fill us with the fruit of righteousness
For the day when we meet Christ
To your glory, praise and honour.
Amen

 

 
Confession based on Philippians 1:9-11

Our loving, heavenly Father,
You have made us holy.
You have begun a good work in us
And are bringing us to the day of completion.
Forgive us for not abounding in love.
Forgive us for not desiring to abound in love.
Forgive us for attempting love without knowledge and discernment.
Make us pure and blameless for the day of Christ.
Fill us with the fruit of righteousness
To your glory and praise.
Amen

Saints and Servants
Philippians 1:1-2 

Our Father,
Your Son, Christ Jesus, has made us holy!
May we view ourselves as blessed with his holiness,
And obligated to holiness.
May service not be for others but for ourselves,
Even as sainthood is ours too.
Amen

 

Being Seen
Philippians 4:10-20

Our Father,
You are the God of riches,
You supply our every need
May we be kind,
May we partner in gospel ministry by sharing in each other’s troubles.
May we be strengthened by Christ as we learn contentment
May we remember that you see our gifts
And that they bring you joy when we trust in your provision
Amen
