A Prayer to God

-
By Kelly Liebengood

I'm sorry, but my goggles are tainted.
Can You help me see?
I have been here so long,
And I still don't know who You are.

Sometimes I think You're my waiter
Here to take my order.
Aren't you suppose to be the Advil for my pain?
I put You on like Clairol to hid my ugly soul.

Aren't you my Daytimer? Make my life orderly!
Be my Blockbuster and show me a good time.

You're the supply wanting my demand.
You're the goods that need to be sold...

Who is the potter and who is the clay?

I'm sorry, but my goggles are tainted.
Can You help me see?
I have been here so long,
And I still don't know who You are.

Amen.  Proclamation At many times, and in many ways, we come to a fork in the road,  where we ask ourselves, Is God good? Should I continue to trust him? Does he really have my best interest in mind? Is he really going to deliver on his promise?  Sometimes that junction comes in the form of a disorienting event that seems to contradict God’s pledge to protect us. At other

  Proverbs 31.10-31; Psalm 1; James 3.13-4.3, 7-8a; Mark 9.30-37   Prayer of Invocation   Father, teach us to trust in you with all our heart, and to not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways to acknowledge you and to live faithfully according to  your calling on our lives, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.    Prayer of Illumination   Father, in your Son Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Open our eyes that we may see the wonders of your Word; and give us grace that we may clearly understand and freely choose the way of your wisdom; through Christ our Lord. Amen.   Proclamation   In our modern world, wisdom is different from knowledge. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that you don’t put a tomato in a fruit salad just because it’s a fruit! Wisdom is applied knowledge; it’s not only knowing about something but also knowing
