Illness Does Not Lead to Death
~*Call to Worship
God whose life holds all life,
God for whom death is not the end,
God of all time and every place,
*we gather here before you in faith.*
Christ with human feet,
treading along every road in every rocky place,
forming the way as you go
so that we may see you ahead of us,
*we gather here before you in faith.*
Spirit, marked with all the signs of heaven,
healing, comforting, enduring, and liberating,
*we gather here before you in faith.*
*Let us worship our God.*
~*Prayer of Invocation
Break through our barriers of unbelief, O God.
Visit us within our hopes and fears today.
Come to us in clear life as we gather here,
that our lives may be renewed
through your healing life.
~*Prayer of Confession
Holy Jesus, renewer of life,
we know there are times
when we do not believe that you can save us.
We lie down and die to life
before we have held open to your healing
or any other gifts that you may bring
for giving us fresh hope and courage.
/Silent reflection./
Forgive our lack of trust, loving Jesus.
*Forgive our acceptance *
*of the things of death.*
Sometimes we commit others to death
because we cannot imagine what could change
and bring them into new life.
Sometimes we are impatient for solutions
when you are gently leading us
down the hard path
toward a different way forward.
/Silent reflection./
Forgive our lack of trust, loving Jesus.
*Forgive our acceptance *
*of the things of death.*
Forgive us when we doubt that,
in life or death,
you will never leave us alone,
that you hold all in your loving hands
for us and for those whom we love.
Forgive us if we think that you do not care
when those we love leave us in death,
or that death is some sort of punishment
and an end of life and love.
*Be with us, Jesus Christ, in life *
*and in death.
Amen.*
~*Words of Assurance
Death bows before the sacred life of God,
all death and every death.
The refusal to lay down guilt
is to hold to ourselves
the death of separating ourselves
from God’s love.
Choose life.
Forgiveness waits for us if we will receive it.
Thanks be to God.
~*Prayer of Thanksgiving
We thank you, O God,
that there are no boundaries to your love.
We thank you that, even in death,
you travel with us and save us.
We thank you that you join our grieving,
weeping with us for the loss of those we love,
and joining us at the tombs of life.
We thank you for the signs all around us –
of life that springs forth
after deathly experiences,
for the power of renewal in all creation.
Amen.
