“With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD!” We cry out to you for help this morning as those who are small and despised, who have experienced the misery of sin. Save us from our sin. Hear our voices, according to your steadfast love. We have brought sin near to us, yet we thank you that you are nearer still to us. We thank you that you are stronger than all our sin. Transform our lives to reflect Jesus Christ’s moral perfection and Spirit-enabled fruitfulness. Enable us to keep your statutes and walk before you with joy, we pray in Jesus’ name, amen. (Based on Psalm 119:145-152)
