PRAYER OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING (From Psalm 30)
O LORD, a fractured relationship with you is like a death;
yet your one desire is life � community with you.
With darkness weeping remains, 
but joy comes with the hint of morning light.
We've come to take so much for granted in our lives:
"I'm OK � steady as a rock. 
In fact, LORD, you've been so good to me 
I'm more secure than a strong mountain."
Then it seemed that you hid your face from me, 
 and I was terrified.
I cried out to you, LORD, when things were really grim;
I pleaded with you to restore my good circumstance:
"What profit is there in my weeping, in my going down in the pit?
Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your faithfulness?
Hear me, LORD, and be merciful. 
O LORD, be my help."
You transformed my mourning into dance,
and gave me new life; 
you have taken my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy,
so that my life will praise you, and not weep.
O LORD, my God, I will praise you  � for ever.

DISMISSAL

so that my life will praise you, and not weep.
O LORD, my God, I will praise you  � for ever.
