Father God Lord Jesus Holy Spirit We present ourselves before You again this Sunday. You are the God of all the earth and You are our God. We will have no other gods before You. We honor You by our presence here Because You have so honored us. You have presented us with your righteousness. You have brought us into your light Out of the darkness of our disobedience. We have been brought into your kingdom Of faith, hope, and love. However hard our lives are or will be, We will always rejoice in your gift of Right standing in You. There is no other god who has paid His own price to meet his own standards In order to welcome us into his own household. We welcome your conviction of any ongoing Disobedience. We want to obey You in Every detail because we have become Convinced that your way is the way to life. Remind us again of how lost we were When You rescued us. You know the depth of our ongoing need And it is our need that draws You close. As You have suffered for us, You suffer with us. We will never stop worshipping You. There’s always more to apprehend. And the best will be here soon when You return to take us home. Amen.

Hi Karen,
This line especially struck me: "Remind us again of how lost we were / When You rescued us."
The most common command in all of Scripture is, "Remember." But we forget all the time. We especially forget how lost we were. We say, "Back in Egypt we had meat to eat" when really we were slaves.
I love your call to all of us to worship Him, our Savior, Lord, King, and Friend.
Thanks,
Sam
