Approach and confession prayer 17 July 2022

The Name of God is good

it is where we place our hope

The Name of God is good

those who trust in trust in God’s unfailing love

will flourish

like a tree in dry weather

with deep roots is fruitful

The Name of God is good

greatly to be praised, adored, worshipped

forever and ever

by faithful people

Look

see

the Lord is good

come, sit at the feet of the One

who came

that we may know God, and God’s unfailing love

Jesus

come, sit at the feet of the One

who calls us to place love of God before all things

and to show mercy on our neighbour

come, sit at the feet of the One

which are pierced

for our forgiveness

no matter the hurt we’ve caused

no matter the worries we’ve carried

no matter how distracted we’ve become

no matter when we’ve failed to place love of God first

Jesus offers forgiveness

freely, in abundance

through the great mercy and love of God

whose Name is good

Amen
