Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Prayer in Preparation for Worship:  O God, we praise you for the Master who rode in triumph into the city of his fathers.  We thank you that he came not as a conqueror to destroy but as the messiah to save. Enable us in this time to cast the garment of pride before him, that in the right spirit every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to your eternal glory.  Amen

Prayer of Confession  Lord even though You have ridden into our lives like the people of old, we do not recognize You for who You are.  We see Your humility and assume that You are only a servant that has come to meet our needs.  We forget that in reality You are the King of Kings deserving of unfettered devotion and allegiance.  We fail to see that it is You we are to serve, not our own desires and wants.  Forgive us for our haughtiness and be patient with us as we learn how to make You the King of our lives.  In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
