Worship Prayers January 12

CENTERING PRAYER


Eternal God, you remain constant through all of our striving, and patient with our ceaseless prayers. We seek your wisdom, yearn for your justice, and crave your blessing, for our own sakes and for the sake of the world. By the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Christ, who prays with us. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP (Colossians 3:12-13)

As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, let us clothe ourselves with compassion.
May we be kind, humble, meek, and patient.
Let us bear each other’s burdens.
Help us to forgive others as the Lord forgives us.
Come! Let us worship our God together.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of grace, for our failure to love others as you loved us,
Forgive us.
For wasting your gifts and hoarding our goods,
Forgive us.
For losing heart and abandoning hope,
Forgive us.
For all the ways we turn from you,
Forgive us… (Silent Confession)
