Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) God of joy, We know that You have blessed us richly, yet so often, we are down in the dumps over little disappointments.

Keep us mindful that Your promise is for true joy in every circumstance, and life eternal. (Silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace
