Hymn - “Come Thou Almighty King” - #139 Verses 1-4 Prayer of Confession Sovereign Lord, we are planners and doers. We want life to line up the way we believe it should, and we get upset when it doesn’t go the way we want it to. We want to be in control, and we forget to consult You about the results. Help us to remember that You are in charge, and that You have amazing plans that far surpass anything that we could ever imagine for ourselves. Give us the courage to let go of our small ideas and leap into our destiny as we rely on Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, Amen.
