Confessing Our Sins: Isaiah 35


Holy and Gracious God, we admit that we look around and yearn for other times when the world felt like a different place. We sigh deeply  when we talk to our neighbors and learn that they don’t know your love.  We weep at the stories we hear on the news.  We shake our heads and wonder if any good can come from this sinful, broken world.  But You are an ever-creating, ever renewing God who makes big promises to us.  Teach us to place our hope in You, even as we watch for the new things you are doing in our midst.  Renew our strength and patience, and make us partners with you.  Call us and claim us again and again.  Teach us to dance once again.
