God our Father,
We are so thankful for the blessings
You pour our in abundance
upon a people who are sometimes
resistant and stubborn.
Why do we fight You, God?
Why do we second-guess You, God?
Why do we ignore You?
Our reasons are many,
but whatever they may be
we pray for forgiveness.
Forgive us, our Father.
Forgive us, restore us, and gather us
that we might encourage one another
as we pour out our worship to You.
In Jesus’ name,
AMEN.
