What more can I say? What more can I do?
What more can I be, to compare to you?
What can I do when I feel small?
Or when I feel unworthy (of my call).
God says that WE do great things together.
Feel the fabric of people holding you near.
Know that “I” is a lonely place.
WE are not worthy of comparison.
We are generations of God’s people.
Small and unworthy. Let us not forget
that God brought us this far as One.
Towards a small child worthy of great things.
Dear Gracious Lord, just as King David did, help us to sit in your presence with assurance that you will meet us there. Help us to understand our place in the wider story of your people. Both to celebrate our blessed community and to take seriously our responsibility to uphold it. Thank you for sending us your saints in every time and place so that we might hear your words to us. Drown out the words that bring us loneliness, comparisons, and unworthiness. Continue to use us in your story, so that we might share this Good News with all who uphold us. Amen.
