Prayer for the Offering
(based on Mark 1:21-28, Psalm 111)
Loving God,
you are never far from us, you are as close as our breathing.
We recognize you as the one who heals the wounded spirit
and gives new life to the broken hearted.
We offer these gifts to You, O God,
as a sign of our commitment to Your grace and authority.
Take us and use us and all that we have,
so that the Kingdom of Heaven will be realized on earth;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
