PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy and gracious God, you are all light, wonder, and glory. You are our strength and our delight; you give us all we need to live. Yet, our eyes wander to all that glitters, and we chase after things that do not give life. Forgive us, Lord, and turn us back to you. Overwhelm us with your goodness and cover us with your grace, for we know you are the source of life, the fountain of all that is good. We continue to pray in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession)
