Lord Jesus Christ
We have gathered in this community
Because we seek to know your will
And carry it out in our lives

We often become intensely aware
Of the wide disparity between what we should be doing
And what we actually find ourselves doing
In our relationships with loved ones
As well as those with whom we work and play

By the work of your Holy Spirit
Give us the insight to face the true motives
For our attitudes, words, and actions.

Help us to overcome our selfishness and envy
So that we may be a blessing to others
Rather than a stumbling block to their spiritual growth
Amen
