Dear God,

Weekly worship is intended to give us holy moments with you.  We can crawl inside to sit upon your lap for an hour.  We can engage in the Word that can liberate us, challenge us and nudge us into the future particularly when we are stuck.  We can sing and dance with the freedom only you can give.  We can stand with a hurting world offering our love and prayers and service.  We can give our hearts, our money and our friendship.  We can listen to our neighbor, celebrate with an overcomer or lift up those whose heart or mind is troubled.  We can learn, find hope and experience peace.  All this in an hour on any Lord's Day that offers worship

O God,

why are

we selfish

and fail

to worship you?

Why do we

sell ourselves short

when we

can join

with you

Why do

we give away

all the gifts

that come

with worship?

Show us

the way

to you,

Loving, Merciful God.

Yours, Andrea
