PRAYER FROM THE PEOPLE
OFFERING: Grant us, Lord, the grace of giving,

RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:
Humanity is
pictured as both fish and an arrogant fisherman…
Who “sacrifices to his net, and burns
incense
to his seine.”
The catch is
plentiful and the fisherman lives in luxury, but his bounty is a product
of…
His
“mercilessly slaying the nations.”
The prophet
watchman takes position in a tower to observe and to…
“Write the vision, make it plain.”
“The
one whose soul is not upright ,“ because of treachery…
arrogance… greed…,
“shall fail. The righteous
shall live by faith.”
God, who calls us to right living, we strive to be faithful but
we are surrounded by many, who do not believe that You are God or that You
care. In greed this earth has been
plundered, and we wonder how many righteous people it will take to deliver it
from wrath. Will we be enough? Lord, keep us from temptation, and open
more hearts to live with reverence.
Amen.
