Prayer of Confession:

Merciful Lord God,

There are times that out of our sadness we have a hard time showing your love. There are times when we don’t feel your love for us. We feel like no other can feel our pain of lose. Because we feel that they don’t know us or our depth of sadness we keep others away. Yet even when we keep our neighbors away, we can never push you, your love and understanding of great sorrow away. Lord there are times when we cling to our sadness because we are afraid of forgetting what we have had. Lord reminds us that even in new joys we can still remember and celebrate with the saints, places, and dreams that we have lost. Lord for give us when we sin without knowing and understanding the ways that we sin. Forgive us in our weakness. Help us to learn, grow, and love in the live you are calling us to live each day. This we pray in your precious name.


Prayer of Confession:

God of the Sabbath, 

We feel like we live in a busy world. We feel expected to keep up. That any rest is weakness and will lead to a live of ruin. We do not practice our faith in you by embracing your gift of time to rest. We feel that we do not have time to care for ourselves as we know we should, and we ask for your forgiveness for not caring for our bodies with as a creation worth respecting. For you have given us a gift of life and our bodies are a part of that gift. Forgive us when we don’t practice the discipline making time to rest. To make space to acknowledge that you are making our life good. And Space to let you just be God in our lives and world. That we are a part of the world, but the world can spine with out our busyness. Help us to celebrate the time and gifts of restful fruitfulness each day. Amen.
