Lord –
With bodies wasting away through our groaning, we confess our transgressions to You. With dried up strength, we acknowledge our sin.
No longer silent, we faithfully offer our prayer to You, and You forgive our transgressions and cover our sin.
Stopper of the mighty waters’ rush…hiding place and preserver from trouble…surround us with glad cries of deliverance.
Instruct us. Teach us. Counsel us.
Encircle us with Your steadfast love, and keep Your eyes upon us.
Amen.
(The Fourth Sunday in Lent is March 27.)
