Approach and confession prayer 16 January 2022

The Love of the Lord is priceless

more highly priced than jewels

more precious than gold or silver

in that love

people find refuge

strength

comfort

and see

God sets before God’s people a banquet of goodness

the finest of wine

brought out at the end of the party

in abundance

how amazing

how wonderful

how marvellous

that we can worship this God

our God

the King and Ruler and Creator of the universe

all seen and unseen

who longs for all God’s people to know

abundance

blessing

the gift of God’s unfailing love

revealed in Christ Jesus

who is our Saviour

friend

sibling

who we worship with God the Father and God the Son this day

who we have followed a little

and long to follow more and more

Christ Jesus

come, sit at our table

be our guest this day

remove our sins

which we humbly confess before you

fill us with your goodness

so, so full

there’s no room for bitterness

envy

greed

fear

all the ways which get in the way of your love

Amen
