*CENTERING OURSELVES FOR WORSHIP (unison)

O God, the Artist of souls, you sculpted a people for yourself out of the rocks of wilderness and fasting. Help us as we take up your invitation to prayer and simplicity, that the discipline of these forty days may sharpen our hunger for the feast of your holy friendship, and whet our thirst for the living water you offer. Through Jesus Christ, Amen.

SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 91:1-2,9-16 p. 477

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison; adapted from a Girl Scout Prayer) Lord, help us to be good as the Girl Scouts, people whom the world can trust. Help us to respect our neighbors’ rights, and never be unjust. Help us, as Americans, to be worthy of the flag we bear. Help all of our Girl Scouts to be proud of the uniforms they wear. Help us to be clean, Dear Lord, in thought, word, and deed. Help us to follow the law that is in the Girl Scout creed. Help us to love all people of the world, and then to serve them, too. Help our actions to count, Dear Lord, in everything we do. Help give us strength to carry on and do our part each day. Make a place in this world for us, and help us fill it, we pray. Make us what we ought to be, and in Thy footsteps fall. Help us to live for others, O great Scout Master of us all. (silence is observed for individual reflection and prayer)
