Jesus -
Carpenter. Son of Mary. Brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon.
You come with wisdom, deeds of power, and prophetic words. Astounded by your offerings, we take offense and dishonor you - showing our unbelief. Forgive us when we do not welcome you into our homes and our lives.
You call us and send us out with healing authority. Taking nothing on our journey but our selves, may we trust your providential care. Shedding our unbelief, may we go out and join your renewing work in our world.
Amen.
