Keep It Coming (Spoken Word)
Welcome & Opening Prayer
Loving God who longs to hear from us.
Please forgive us for when we behave as if you are not always with us.
Forgive us for asking you to join what we are doing,
instead of us joining in on what YOU are doing.
Open our eyes, that we may watch for what you are doing among us.
Open our ears so that we may listen to your voice within us.
Let us be open to taste and see that you are good.
And may the sweet aroma of your justice and peace fill our souls
Like Thomas, who needed to touch your pierced hands,
grant us that same mercy! Grace us with your overwhelming presence,
that we may ultimately be better lovers of our enemies and neighbors.
May the mountains that we long to move
be moved with you in front.
Empower us to love justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with you.
Amen.

Call and Response
God, You desire to hear from us daily,
yet we only call when we are in crisis.
We treat you like a genie,
and ignore you when our lives are fine.
Rekindle our awe of you!
Price of Peace,
We too want peace, but we grow impatient.
In our impatience, we are prone to choose paths that don’t lead to peace.
Help us to move at your Pace,
Lord. Thank you for your word, and have mercy on us.
When we don’t get our way, we are prone to weaponize Your scriptures
to fit our agendas
Wash us with your promises and give us a pure heart,
Lord. You long to spend quality time with us,
but we prioritize things that will pass away.
We want to to prioitze you
Help us to prioitze you
Lord
We made a habit out of drowning out your voice in times you are speaking to us
We choose what we want instead of what we know is right
We convince ourselves and polish up what we are doing so it looks good
But we know it fall short of your way
Help us to be honest with ourselves and fall back in love with Your way
Lord
Lead us not into temptation,
Deliver us from the evil around us and the evil that we create
Help us to treat even our enimies the way we want to be treat
Help us to corrected our enemies the way we want to be corrected
Lord, we long to be like you
In our actions, and thoughts
Help us to reflect your ways
Amen.

Scripture Reading
Luke 18:1-8, CEB
Jesus was telling them a parable about their need to pray continuously and not to be discouraged. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. 3 In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him, asking, ‘Give me justice in this case against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused but finally said to himself, I don’t fear God or respect people, 5 but I will give this widow justice because she keeps bothering me. Otherwise, there will be no end to her coming here and embarrassing me.” 6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 Won’t God provide justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he be slow to help them? 8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Human One[a] comes, will he find faithfulness on earth?”
