Yes, the following words are from the prayer that I accidentally prayed 30 minutes too soon one hot Sunday morning in August. I just wanted to make sure we were adequately prepared for the time of giving. ha. Loving God, indeed we take many things for granted. Whether it is the air that we breathe or our confidence in tomorrow, we find ourselves leaning too much on our own understanding. Therefore, we ask that your indwelling Spirit teach us how to gain a confidence that depends only on Jesus Christ. As we worship you in this gathered community, may we be directed on how we can love you with added strength and purpose. And may the offerings we give be a reflection of what WE believe YOU would like to see changed in our world. May our gifts bring justice to the ones who need it and meaning to the ones who stand firm against it.
Almighty God, continue to change us so that our hearts and minds are set on things above.
