Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we come as we are, to become what you meant us to be. We come as we are, broken, afraid and full of disappointment, to be made whole and to be set free. We come as we are, with all our plans and our dreams, our joys and our sorrows, to be touched by your grace and held in your love. We come as we are; there is no other way we can come. We come as we are to praise you, the one who is worthy and the one who is Lord.

Amen.
