Worship Prayers Aug. 4

CENTERING PRAYER

Holy One, you see us for just who we are, and yet you love us with a parent’s love. In your enduring love for us, we see both our guilt and our acquittal. Gracious God, continue to guide us and teach us to walk in your ways. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP
We are children of God, learning to walk. Day by day, we are learning to be the church. The Lord is a loving parent, teaching us to walk. God loves us, leads us, and feeds. Come! Let us worship the Lord together.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Nurturing God, you continue to lead us in upright ways on account of your love for us, yet we do not always follow your call; we turn away from you and go our own way. Forgive us, and return us to our rightful home in you, through Jesus Christ our Savior. (Silent Confession)
