May 15, 2011 "BEYOND LAMENT"

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Glorious God, Most Wondrous and Mysterious Creator, you are ever working for your children’s good even when we cannot seem to see it. We confess that we have been weighted down, wrestling with doubts, trying ceaselessly to discern your will and way for us. We did not know what to expect nor how to prepare for what might come. In that respect, how very much like Jesus’ disciples, we are. We give you thanks and praise for being with us as we moved with slow heavy steps through shadowy days reflecting on the measure of our faith. Indeed, dearest LORD, you have brought us out of that murky grayness and once again into your marvelous light. We are lifted up, no longer burdened by the weight of worry. You have set our feet once again on the path of welcome proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ risen from the dead. We shall be ever thankful and aware of your faithfulness and love. Amen.
