Glorious God, We give you thanks and praise as the creator of all the things. Throughout our history you have wanted us to know that you were always close at hand, not fearfully close, but mercifully close. We confess that we have believed you to be possessive, jealous, and angry unwilling to shower us with what we thought we deserved and needed. Again and again you have come to us trying to connect, trying to make peace, trying to please a fickle friend. We are yours and we confess that fact. We, like Martha, will not hesitate to say “Yes Lord we believe.” Help us O Gracious one not to be afraid of what is coming. Let us be assured that your desire for us is life eternal in your company. Teach us not to fear in the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
