Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we come from a world full of so many things to tempt us and lead us away from you; from a world full of despair and anguish and pain. We come with our own concerns and doubts and fears. We come hurting, tired with the struggle and strain of just living. We come feeling lost and uncertain and just as we are. We come because you called us. We come because we must. We come to give you worship, and honor and praise. We come to make confession and to be made whole. We come because you came and go on coming, our living Savior and Lord.

Amen.
