Prayer of Confession We fill our lives with the fear of scarcity, assuming there is not enough money, time, patience or love. We turn away when a stranger asks for nourishment, claiming there isn't enough even for ourselves. We often sit with arms crossed and fists clenched, crying out that you have turned away and left us empty handed. Forgive us when we doubt your abundance and ignore the possibilities with what we have been given. We easily give thanks for the good things in life, turning away from those which lead us to deeper community or second-guessing blessings as too good to be true. Open our eyes to the wonders that surround us. Help us surrender to the loving embrace that enfolds us. (silent prayer). Amen. Adapted from Stone Soup
