Please hear our prayers, enjoy our songs, and teach us through Your Word. Make our hearts kind and our choices wise. As we learn what You want, help us follow Jesus at church, at school, at work, and at home. Help us listen. Help us love. Help us share. In Jesus’ name, Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING ALTAR CANDLES “Onward Christian Soldiers” *HYMN: “God of the Ages” - #698 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Benevolent God, we want to be wise investors; yet we confess that too often we invest our time, our talent, and our money foolishly. We invest in things thinking that things will give us security. When we come to worship we are reminded that Jesus came to give us abundant life, not to give us more stuff. In our better moments we know that stuff does not lead to eternal life; only a relationship with Jesus can do that. But we are anxious and foolish people. We confess of our myopic view of seeing the world through the lens of ourselves only. Heal us of our blindness and empower us with your vision of who we are and who we can become. Grant us the grace and courage to walk that narrow path which leads to you. Give us the courage of our convictions, O Lord of Life. Make us the people that you imagined at creation. Heal our lack of trust so that we may wholly and completely follow you as disciples of the Risen Lord. We genuinely desire to be your hands and feet in the world, so give us the volition to follow our hearts into a deeper relationship with you. Forgive us in all the places that we have fallen short and give us an enduring vision of the realm of God that we desire to serve. Help us learn to invest together and live as the gracious body of Christ in our community. In this and in everything we offer our prayers in the name of the one you sent to be our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen.
