Call to Worship & Prayer
Read Psalm 13
Ask God to prepare your heart for worship.
Thank the Lord that He hears and invites our cries of lament in times of struggle and sorrow.
Ask the Lord to consider our plight; to protect us, our church, and loved ones during this time.
Ask for trust in His steadfast love during this trial.
Thank Him for our salvation in Jesus, and for His bountiful blessings — full bellies, full refrigerators, warm beds, etc. Be specific!
Confession & Assurance
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
Forgive us, Father, for our impatience with your plan and timing. Forgive us for grumbling in the deserts you faithfully guide us through. Forgive us when we embrace bitterness in our trials.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happinesses. The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Come Light Our Hearts - Rain for Roots (feat. Sandra McCracken & Skye Peterson)
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
O Lord of life, our only hope
Your radiance shines
On all who look to You in the dark
Emmanuel come, come light our hearts
Oh Joy above, all other loves
In You we find, more than enough
We come as we are, O heal and restore,
Come light our hearts
