SHARING OF JOYS AND CONCERNS
(in Unison, after sharing prayer requests) UMH#482
Lord, Have Mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Divine Provider, we confess that we sometimes doubt your provision for us. When we start scraping the bottom of the barrel, we cut back our sharing with others who have already run out and are hungry or in need. Forgive selfishness and independence that prevents interdependence and working together to solve distribution problems in the use of the resources of your good earth, through your compassionate Son, Jesus Christ. Amen
