Prayer of Confession
O God, we long to rest in you,
to trust in your goodness,
in your care for us,
in your abundant life.
But we don’t know how to rest
and we have forgotten how to trust:
We seek material goods that we don’t really need.
We befriend people not always out of love.
We ask questions of you like the Sadducees did of Jesus,
questions that try only to prove our point,
not to grow in understanding of your desires for us.
Slow us down, Holy One.
Attend to us, Holy One,
and show us that you are our salvation and our resting place.
