Prayer of Confession

Spirit of God, you breathe your love in us. We give thanks for those times when we have lived by your love and your Spirit in us . . .

(Silence . . . take a deep breath in and then breathe out slowly)

Spirit of God, you breathe your love in us. We confess those times when we have lived by fear or selfishness, rather than by your Spirit, and we open ourselves to your grace now as we breathe. . .

(Silence . . . take a deep breath in and then breathe out slowly)

We breathe in your grace. . . (breathe in) and we breathe out your grace. (breathe out) Thanks be to you, God of our breath.

(Silence . . . take a deep breath in and then breathe out slowly)

Words of Assurance

As we breathe in God’s love, (breathe in) as we breathe out God’s love, (breathe out) we are awakened, refreshed, renewed, and made whole. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! InthenameofJesusChrist,weareforgiven!ThanksbetoGod!Alleluia!

THE LORD’S PRAYER

as written by Juli Collins

Eternal Source of Wisdom and Compassion, Grant us the serenity to perceive your presence in all things.

May your divine purpose be fulfilled within us and throughout creations, as we align our will with your infinite love.

Nourish our soul with the sustenance of truth and understanding. And Help us to extend forgiveness as we have been forgiven.

Lead us along the path of righteousness, And shield us from the darkness that threatens to engulf us.

For yours is the realm of boundless grace, the power to heal and transform, And the eternal beauty that transcends all limitations. Amen.
