Remove my sin from me, I am guilty. Create in me a clean heart, ready to love you and love my neighbor. Make my slate clean. Forgive me and love me; restore to me joy that you have saved me.

We are led down right paths that bring honor to your name. Even when we walk through dark and difficult valleys we will not fear; for our God is with us, protecting, comforting, guarding and guiding every step we take. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies; you lavish us with blessings to the point of overflowing. We know with confidence that your goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives, and our eternity shall be in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
Abba God in heaven, holy is your name! May your reign come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven: give us today the bread of tomorrow. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Don’t put us to the test, but free us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
