Hiding Place –
In our silence, our bodies waste away through groaning, and our strength dries up.
Instead of deadly silence, may we acknowledge our sin and confess our transgressions – trusting that You forgive us and cover us. May we offer prayer to You – trusting the mighty waters of our distress to recede.
Keep Your eye upon us – instructing, teaching, and counseling us. Preserve us and surround us with Your steadfast love.
Amen.
(The First Sunday in Lent is February 26.)
