Prayer of Response
We
confess to you our Father, our small-mindedness and limited appreciation of
your greatness and almighty power.
We
confess that we scarcely consider your mighty movements at the beginning of
time, creating the heavens and the earth.
Forgive us and enlarge our
understanding.
We
confess that the life and death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ do
not infuse our thinking as they should: we are so hemmed in by transitory
interests and temporal pursuits that we lose sight of the essential and eternal.
Forgive us, and deepen our
love,
We
confess that we do not value and often do not welcome the gift of your Holy
Spirit to liberate our tongues to praise you and our lives to serve you.
Forgive us, Creating and Redeeming God, and open our hearts,
Through the love of our Lord
Jesus
And by the power of
the Holy Spirit,
Amen
