CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Glorious God, we have come to praise you, to focus our minds and hearts upon your gracious bounty given into our care. We confess that we bring with us our grief, our fear, our doubt, our frustration, our pain, our illness and our worries. Help us to let go the things that weigh us down. Lighten our spirits and fill our hearts with your truth. You have fulfilled your promises and given us the earth and its ability to produce abundantly. We pray for the ability to utilize the earth’s resources to benefit all of the people of the earth. Help us to stop the violence done to your creation by those who are ruled by selfishness and greed, need and desperation. Let us live as Jesus taught us; for truth is in Jesus. Let us live truthfully, then, speaking truth to our neighbors always in the name of the Christ. Amen.
