As we gather for worship, O Lord, help us let go . . .
Of the things that trap us, the fears that silence us, the anger that haunts us.
As we gather for worship, O Lord, help us let go . . .
Of the worry, stress or anxiety that have filled us since the last time we gathered in your presence.
As we gather for worship, O Lord, help us let go . . .
Of grief, sadness, or a desire for something else.
As we gather for worship, O Lord, help us pick up . . .
The gift of your grace, your love and your life that fills us.
As we gather for worship, O Lord, help us pick up . . .
The gift of each other, the gift of this community, the gift of this time of worship.
As we gather for worship O Lord, help us say together,
We are here. We are not alone.
Jesus Christ is among us today.
Alleluia! Amen.
