The Weekly Prayer Project - No Words
Welcome!
Could you use some comfort? The Comforter is ready to steady you, strengthen you, and surround you with a peace that surpasses understanding. The Holy Spirit brings supernatural comfort when it is needed most.
Supernatural Comfort
Pastor: Holy God, Almighty Father, from You proceeds the Spirit, sent by the Son to be our Comforter, bringing to our remembrance all that Jesus said and taught. Open our ears and our hearts to the living voice of Jesus in the Word of God, and grant that we may always be enlightened and helped by the same Holy Spirit; who lives and reigns with the Father and the Son, one God, now and forever.
All: Amen.
Great Are You Lord

Scripture Reading
John 14:25-27 - “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
STP KIDS Dismissal
STP KIDS is the Children’s Ministry at St. Peter’s Edina, designed for all children from 6 months to 10 years old (Grade 5). Older children are welcome to participate as helpers. Our vision is to partner with parents in raising up a generation of children that will seek their God-given Kingdom mission and impact their world for Jesus!
Message
Romans 8:26 (ESV) - Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
I can not believe in Him or come to him.
NO WORDS ≠ prayerlessness
In Holy Conversation
In holy conversation
We speak to God in prayer
And at His invitation
Our deepest thoughts we share
We come His will obeying
As children bringing needs
And to support our praying
His Spirit intercedes
These holy conversations
Begin in child-like ways
We bring our supplications
And words of thanks and praise
With care our Father listens
To every thought expressed
Then answers our petitions
In ways he knows are best
As holy conversation
In silence or by word
In every situation
Through Jesus we are heard
So let us pray securely
Expressing hopes and fears
with confidence that surely
Our Father ever hears
Confession & Forgiveness
Pastor: When the Spirit comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. (John 16:8)
Pastor: Let us confess our sins before God, the Holy Trinity.
All: Holy God, we acknowledge our sin before You. Specifically, Lord, in the silence of our hearts we confess these specific sins:
(silent confession)
All: For these and all our sins we deserve nothing but punishment. Yet, for the sake of the holy precious blood and innocent suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us; forgive us our sins; and lead us to walk in the way of holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor: God has heard your confession and has had mercy on you for Jesus' sake. God loves you so much that He has given His Son to die for you and in Christ grants you full forgiveness and everlasting life. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.
Communion
The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod holds the Biblical teaching that in Communion we receive the true body and blood of Jesus Christ with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. If you are a baptized Christian who has been instructed in the Biblical teaching of the real presence of the Christ in this meal and grace through faith in Christ, and if you agree with our confession of faith, please join with the fellowship of disciples in Holy Communion.
“Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.” (1 Corinthians 11:28-29)
The Lord’s Prayer
All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
1 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) - Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.

To be overcome by Your Presence Lord
