of your Kingdom. You have called us to be
diligent workers in your fields. You expect
that your business will be our business, that
our work will be your work.
We confess that all too often we have let our
pride, our selfishness, our desire for comfort
and prestige cloud our efforts, we confess
that we have hurt each other and that
we have not, in fact, been your faithful disciples.
In confession we seek forgiveness,
dedicating ourselves once again to the simple
task of seeking your heart, and serving you
in love, humility, and gentleness toward all.
May our lives reflect your love and glory in
the world. You are the Stone the Builders Rejected,
and you are marvelous in our eyes. Teach us
to serve you first, foremost, and always.
Amen.
