God, we ask for forgiveness, we repent
For complaining about our trivial circumstances
For caring about our own needs before others
For ceasing to be the church and a sign of your news
For depending on ourselves for fulfillment
For depending on our purchases for peace
For depending on money for security
May we seek to advance the gospel
May we seek to understand the gospel
May we seek to proclaim the gospel
In all streams of our life
As individuals and as your church
Amen.
