We struggle and suffer in various ways, O God, but we also come here to renew our faith and hope in the power of your love to grow our resilience, care and capacity for joy. What may some prayer, praise, words, silence, and an opening of our hearts and minds in trust before you stir in us, O God? Come to us as we worship you this hour. Speak to us and move through us! *Hymn: Lord, in this broken world No. 723 Prayer of Approach, Confession & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever.
