Opening Prayer
(inspired by 1
Corinthians 1: 18-31, 1 Corinthians 3:18-20)
O
God,
we
trust in Your power,
even
as it is often found in weakness;
in
Your wisdom,
even
as it is expressed in seeming foolishness;
in
Your wholeness,
even
as it comes to us amid brokenness.
We
do not ask this day for dazzling displays of strength,
electric
exercises of intellectual prowess,
or
marvelous manifestations of miracles.
We
come simply to worship You.
Touch
us this day, O Lord, sinners that we are,
that
we might become Your saints,
Your
body, Your children, Your church.
For
this Temple of Your Spirit
is
built not upon our own abilities, knowledge, or restorative skill,
but
upon You, in Jesus Christ. Amen.
