Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we come out of our darkness and into your light. We come out of our emptiness to enter your fullness. We come out of our hopelessness to find your joy. We come out of our confusion to seek your peace. We come far from home because we know we have been found. We come at your invitation to praise you as Lord. We exalt and magnify you for your glory and recognize within our hearts that you alone are worthy of all praise. Through Jesus we offer this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.

Amen.
