Easy to Say; Hard to Do

Prayer of Confession

We confess it is easy to claim to follow you and much harder to act on it. Forgive us when we forget that Jesus showed us the way. Remind us that though it is hard, you make our journey possible. Thank you for your unending love and your relentless presence. Amen.

Assurance of Grace

It is hard, life that is. It is harder still to live as Jesus taught and showed us. It is easy to get sidetracked. And, yet, God never gives up on us. God never stops loving and pointing the way. This is Good News. We are beloved.
