O God, we trust you and we ask you to protect us.We are weak, and we look to you for strength. We struggle with sin, and we look to you for holiness and transformation. Pour out your mercy on us. Guide us and rule over us so that we will not lose sight of what is eternal in a world where so much passes away. That we might not lose sight of what is true in a world where so much is deceptive and false.
O God, we humbly recognize our need for forgiveness and restoration. In our weakness and selfishness, we often fail each other, fail ourselves, and fail you. We also recognize the hope and power we have in Christ. Raise us and transform us by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. Forgive us our sins, and make us ready and able and quick to forgive others, even as you forgive us.
O God, we are sinners. Have mercy us. You see our hidden faults and know our secret sins. Thank you for loving us where we are and for giving us the grace and guidance to rise above our weaknesses. Help us to love you with heart, soul, mind, and strength. Grant us integrity that our lives might be a proof and testimony of our devotion to you.
Through Christ, we pray. Amen.
