Here is an opening prayer of invocation inspired by Jesus’
invitation to “Take up your cross and follow me.” It was posted on The Minor Keys blog.
Call to Worship
(inspired by Matthew
10:38, 16:24; Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, 14:27)
Loving God,
you call us to turn away from our own selfish interests,
to take up our cross, and to follow you.
To find our lives,
may we live them in service of your mission.
As we come before you this morning,
give us open hearts and open hands.
Make us eager to hear your voice
and seek your guidance.
Open our minds to your ever-present spirit
that is always moving within and around us
Open our spirits to your nudging
and open our lives to your love.
