Good Evening, Lord!
Words of Comfort
Your Word
is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. – Psalm 119:105
Prayer of Confession
Lord Jesus,
stay with us, for the evening is at hand and the day is past. Be our constant
companion on the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope among us, that we may
recognize You as You are revealed in the Scriptures and in the breaking of the
bread. Grant this for Your name’s sake. Amen.[1]

Petitions of the Lord’s Prayer
“Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
O God, Your
will is done even without our prayers, but we pray that it may be done among us
also. Please break and hinder every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the
world, and our sinful nature, which do not want us to hallow Your name or let
His kingdom come. Strengthen and keep us firm in Your Word and faith until we
die. Let Your good and gracious will be done. Amen.
Verse of Benediction
May the God

the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Rom. 15:13 ESV)
