Good morning and blessing to you.  Let us join our hearts together in prayer:

Gracious God, open our hearts this day and everyday to see, hear, and experience the blessings you give us.  We take for granted the life that we have.  We forget that you gave us breath; you gave us a purpose; you gave us gifts.  But most importantly, you gave us your Son to die and live so that we may live forever.  Through Jesus Christ you announce forgiveness to all those who confess their sins.  Hear us now, Oh Lord, hear our confession…

<Take a moment to confess your sins to God>

Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by his authority, I declare onto all of you the forgiveness of all your sins in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen!

God heard our confession and forgiveness is ours.  Praise God for his wonderful grace.  Worship the Lord with gladness.  Give thanks that God is our God.  The love of the Lord is always with you.  Praise be to God and Amen!  -EDH-
