PrayerofconfessionMerciful God, we confess that we have chased the dream of success, and in the chase we have made other gods. We pursue status and wealth, power and influence. Forgive us for settling for shallow successes at the expense of depth and wisdom. Forgive us for loving the illusion of success while neglecting the reality of your presence in our lives and in the world. Renew our thinking and our vision that we might be the people you have called us to be. Hear us now as we make our silent confessions…

Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown. Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, and all the twinkling, starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, than all the angels heav’n can boast. Beautiful Savior and Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of man, Glory and honor, praise adoration, now and forevermore be Thine!
