Opening Hymn - “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” - #276 - 3 Verses Prayer of Confession - Almighty God, we spend more time thinking about the ways we doubt than the ways we believe. At times we doubt Your ability and Your willingness to do actual miracles in our lives. At other times, we doubt Your timing or Your methods. And, most importantly, we doubt that all You do is because You love us and want us to prosper. Help us to focus on our belief in You. Forgive us for looking through worldly eyes instead of seeing with heavenly vision. Thank You for Your endless grace and patience, in the precious Name of Jesus. Amen.
