Psalm 99: If you shake us
(as a prayer of confession)
O God, how incredible you are!
How ordinary we are.
The earth shakes with your power
and we tremble, afraid
that if you shake us we’d fall apart.
We see your brilliance
and we hide in the dark.
We know how pure you are, pure love,
and we know that we are a mess.
Forgive us, God.
We stuff up.
We forget to live in your light.
All the prophets told us about Christ,
that all our failing would be forgiven
in his name.
Come, Spirit of God, come.
(Acts 10:42-44)
