In this season of Epiphany:

God of Salvation, in Christ you have done great things – our hearts are filled with joy.
By your power you lifted us out of the wasteland of sin and brought us with joy and laughter into your kingdom.
Salvation is your gift to us.
But we confess that often we try to replace your gift with our own efforts.
We try to complete what is already perfect; we try to add to what is already full; we try to earn what we already have. Forgive us for our doubting nature. Help us to focus on your grace.  Help us to live greateful lives in return.

For Jesus/ sake, amen.
