Worship Prayer for Nov. 5

CENTERING PRAYER - Thank you for waking me up this morning; each day is a gift from you. Let your Word be at work within me today that I may be faithful to you and every breath be a prayer of gratitude.  Amen.

        

CALL TO WORSHIP - Psalm 107:1-2
O give thanks to the Lord, who is good.
        God’s steadfast love endures forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so:
        God’s steadfast love endures forever!
Let us worship the Lord!


PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord God, only you are holy.  Yet we imagine that we are righteous, excusing our own faults while pointing out those of others.  We are quick to lay burdens upon our neighbors but slow to help with their own.  We take credit and give blame.  In spite of the grace you have shown to us, we are slow to show mercy.  Forgive us, O God, and wash us clean, that we may serve you with joy and thanksgiving.  We continue to pray in Jesus’ name.  (Silent Confession)
