Worship Prayers August 23



CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader:      God says, “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.”
People:      Come, all who are hungry.  Come.
Leader:      We have come to feast on the living bread that we might minister to the world’s hungers.
People:      We have come to drink from the waters of life that we might minister to the world’s thirst.
All:             Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.  Let us worship God, the Source of every blessings.  Amen. 

   PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God, we come into your presence with thanks for all that fills our lives with joy:  the love of family and friends, the comfort of our homes, the challenge of work, and the delight of leisure.  Forgive us as we have so often place these good things before you, failing to see them as your gifts.  In this time of worship, stretch our understanding, that we may know our lives in the perspective of your gracious love.  Teach us to live with righteous intention for the world, and to be at home wherever your spirit leads us; through Jesus Christ, our Savior.  Amen.
