Prayer
(based on Micah
6:6-8)
Oh
God
Our
Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer-
How
do we thank you?
How
do we show our gratitude?
Do
you want signs and sacrifices?
Do
you want gold and cattle?
Can
we turn over our children to you?
Would
that repay our debt, make everything right?
Tell
us, what do you require in return for all your goodness?
Oh
God,
Our
teacher, example, companion—
You
have shown us what is good,
and
call us to remember
that
what you require is not
repayment
of debt
or
settling the score,
but
obedience.
Show
us, God
When
to do justice,
how
to love kindness,
and
where to walk,
humbly,
with
You.
Amen.
