God of grace and truth, show yourself to be our Savior. Our sin is madness, a gloom of deep darkness, and we have lingered in it. In our self-centeredness we have spurned your love, we have manipulated and hurt those closest to us, and we allow ourselves to believe that our sin is no serious offense—but we have forsaken you and your glorious purpose for our lives! Can it be true that you have not forsaken us? Grant us confidence in our relationship with you, in spite of all our sin, because of the gift of your Beloved Son for our life. Make us to know that we belong to you, and that you belong to us, through the sure word of your Gospel and the power of your Holy Spirit. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
