Confession
Gracious God, you call us to live with open hands and open hearts, but we confess that too often, we hold tightly to what we have, fearing there will not be enough. We forget that you are the source of all good things. Loosen our grip on possessions, time, and control, so that we may live more generously and trust more fully. In your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
