4. CONFESSION Prepare Ye the Way
Creator God, forgive our moments of ingratitude, the spiritual blindness that prevents us from appreciating the wonder that is in this world, the endless cycle of nature,
of life and death and rebirth. Forgive us for taking without giving, reaping without sowing. Open our eyes to see, our lips to praise, our hands to share. May our feet tread lightly on the path we tread, and our footsteps be worthy of following, for they lead to you.
The Lord’s Prayer: Our Father…
“If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just,
and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9

A Prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I kneel before the Father,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
“Make your requests known to God.”

and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
