And we run.

*Prayer of Confession responsive

You call, God.
And we run.

You point, God.
And we go the other way.

We hide from you, God.
And you seek us out.

We get angry at you, God.
And you wait patiently.

We pout & grumble at you, God.
And you listen.

We judge you when you fail to
be like our image of you, God.
And you love us anyway.

And when we are ready, you touch us with a sliver of your wisdom.
And we relax into your ways.

Amen.
