“I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time – waking and sleeping. It does not change God – it changes me.” ~C.S. Lewis “Our prayers must not be efforts to bend God to our will but to yield ourselves to His.” ~Catherine Marshall “Prayer is bringing your wishes and worries to God; faith is leaving them there.” ~Anonymous “We can be sure our prayers are answered precisely in the way we would want them to be answered if we knew everything God knows.” ~Tim Keller

WE GATHER IN GRATEFUL WORSHIP

Song of Gathering John Three-Sixteen

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Songs of Praise I’ll Fly Away

I Saw the Light

Responsive Prayer of Confession* One: Almighty God, your interventions into this world have always shaped who we are and what we are to become. When you called Abram to a new land, you shaped a faithful response. When you gave Moses the Ten Commandments you shaped proper behavior. When you called David your friend, you shaped the nature of spirituality. When you gave your only son our Lord, you shaped the nature of love. When you guide us through trusted friends, powerful insights, and divine scripture, you reveal your continued presence as you shape our lives today. Thank you. All: God of Holy Love, often we resent your attempts to shape us. We don’t like being “clay in the Potter’s hands.” We don’t like the image of being sheep guided by a Shepherd. We are intelligent people who can do things ourselves, without you, without others. Forgive us our arrogance, O Lord. Forgive us for the many ways in which we injure others because we don’t follow you. Help us to learn from Jesus who did it right. It is in his name that we come to you in prayer seeking forgiveness. Amen.
