Sunday Focus

 

5th July 2026

 

Welcome to our Sunday Focus for this week. This week we will look at Psalm 27.

 

We pray that you will be blessed.

 

 

Hymn -  You are my anchor

 

Holy God, you are the brilliant light that is full of goodness. Your mercies are renewed everyday. You cause the sun to shine on both the righteous and the wicked. You are the light of the world, and our salvation. In you, we are rescued from despair, anxiety, and this cruel world. There is nothing we must fear, for you are with us in every moment. Thank you for being so kind! Amen

Song  - All Heaven Declares

 

 

Heavenly Father, you sent your Son Jesus to die on our behalf. He imputed righteousness to us. Now that we have been justified freely by your grace in what your Son did on the cross, we are able to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives. Thank you for providing mercy and eternal life. Thank you for hiding us in your shelter in the day of trouble. I know that when things get tough in life, you will be there to protect me. When I am most vulnerable, and storms brew within my circumstances, you will lift me high upon a rock. Amen

 

Song:  How lovely is your dwelling place

 

Everlasting Father, do not hide your face from me. When trials and persecution comes, I need to rejoice in knowing you are there. Do not cast me away from your presence. For you are my rock and redeemer. You are my comforter during times of stress. You save me from the empty void and the temptations of worldly pleasure. Teach me your ways and lead me on a level path. You are a lamp to my feet. You guide and direct me. Keep me on your perfect path.

 

Our Confidence is in The Lord

 Lord, you have taught us to be kind and loving. You have encouraged us to love our enemies and do good to those who are mean. When people breathe out violence and anger, help me to be peaceful. For you are the Prince of Peace. I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. You have set my paths toward a land flowing with milk and honey. I will wait for you. I will be strong and take courage. As I pray, I wait for you to give me a clear direction. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

Amen.

 

Hymn -  Tell out my Soul

 

 

 

Go now,
Knowing God never leaves us.
Go, to put your hand 
In the hand of the Saviour of the world.
Go in the power of the Spirit –
That same Spirit
Who forgives our faults
And inspires us to keep going.
Blessed be
Creator, Son and Spirit
Now and forever. Amen
