Opening Prayer
Strong and powerful God of Hope, we really are broken earthen vessels, despite our attempts to look like highly polished golden chalices, with no imperfections. Our brokenness and powerlessness before it speaks of our humanity and our need for You. Humble us to be open to Your grace today. Enlighten us with hope and faith that You can and will fill the cracks and crevices of our lives and our world. InSpirit us with discernment and hope that allows us to prune destructiveness within us while allowing You to fill brokenness. Raise us to the higher ground of morality which never abuses anyone for their brokenness. Be our power, strength and hope, You Who are Whole!
