Mosaic - Pantocrator - Palermo (Sicily) |
Lord, You who we pretend to know so well
in our creeds, in our prayers, in our masquerades:
Today, we want to see Jesus.
Today, we want to see Jesus.
Today, we want to experience the Holy Spirit's presence.
Today, we come to worship You.
Help us be real. Help us be ready. Help us be honest.
Because we need You,
We need You here,
in our hearts be Priest, hearing our confessions,
in our minds be King of our thoughts,
in our lives be Prophetic voice and action. Amen.
The Rev. Nathan Decker is the pastor of the South Sussex Charge
of the Petersburg District of the Virginia Annual Conference of the
United Methodist Church.
