Confession
(inspired by Matthew
5: 14-16)
We
have developed a stutter
when
it comes to being salt and light in your world, O Lord.
Our
prayer is that we might covet the freedom
to
respond to your love for us
with
all our heart and soul and mind and strength.
Forgive
us our caution,
our
self-consciousness,
our
fear of spontaneity,
the
praises that get stuck on our stuttering tongues.
Make
of us the glad and contagious followers you created us to
be,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
