Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we thank you that you have not left us alone but you have sought us out and welcomed us home. We praise you that in every part of life, and in every corner of our lives, your holiness calls us to confess the height of your glory and the depth of our sin. Your mercy challenges us to trust you and empowers us to begin again. We thank you that you have so designed our lives that we can know you and experience your presence; that you have created the world in such a way that everywhere we look, we can see your fingerprints. We thank you that you are all around us and we praise you for your presence. In the name of Christ Jesus, who reconciled us to you, we give you thanks.

Amen.
