Approach and confession prayer 2 October 2022

Wonderful

Mighty

Everlasting

is God

our King

on whom we wait

wait quietly for salvation

seeking God

in this time of worship together

longing to feel God’s presence

God’s power and love

through the spirit’s stirring within and around us

Wonderful

Mighty

Everlasting

is God

our King

on whom we wait

wait quietly for salvation

revealed in Christ Jesus

God’s Son

our Lord and Master

make yourself known afresh to us this day

help us to remember whose we are and whom we serve

help us to remember that, though we may be pressed on every side

in your great love

we are not consumed;

for God’s compassions are new every morning

as the breaking the sun over the horizon

heralds a new day

the compassion of the Lord never never fails

it never fails

even when we have failed

failed to use the gifts we have to reveal the kingdom

failed to trust in God, God’s love and power

failed in thought, word, and deed

God’s compassion never fails

it is new every morning

this day

in the power and love of God

revealed in Christ Jesus

know you are forgiven

and receive anew the spirit’s power

in Jesus’ name we pray

Amen
