Lord, let your church clothe itself with humility,
gird itself with a towel and wash the dirty feet of this world.
Lead us to know that you oppose the proud,
but give grace to the humble.
We have too often sought to build up our own Kingdoms
of sect, denominations, ideologies and theologies.
We have sought more to make our names known,
instead of your love and grace in Jesus Christ.
We pray now to rreverence your Holy Name. We ask
that your Kingdom come, even if our little kingdoms decline.
Amen.
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To Him be the power for ever and ever, Amen." I Peter 5: 10
