Almighty
and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear us than we are
to pray. Your readiness to provide for our needs is greater than our
readiness to live for your glory. You remove our fears, you graciously
bless us, and you draw us into fellowship with you through Jesus Christ
our Savior.
Thank you for your promise to forgive and
purify us. Thank you for being the one who saves. Forgive us our sins.
Renew us by your Spirit. Show us how to act, think, and live as Christ.
As you have forgiven us, make us merciful and ready to forgive those
who have sinned against us.
When we are afraid, O God,
help us to be still and put our trust in you. When we feel like running
in the face of challenges and obstacles, give us the courage to stand
firm. Be our help, our shelter, and our deliverer.
Through Christ, we pray. Amen.
