Deuteronomy
7:6-12
Father
we confess that although we are a holy people we do not live holy lives.
But
you have blessed us;
you
have chosen us;
you
have set your affection on us;
and
you have loved us
Forgive
us for not living worthy of your blessing.
Forgive
us for asserting our independence despite your choosing.
Forgive
us for spurning your affection.
And
forgive us for not loving you in return.
Thank
you for keeping your promises to save us and redeem us, from the slavery of our
sin and from the powers of darkness that have bound us.
You
are a faithful God who keeps his covenant of love and his promise of judgement.
Help
us to be careful to live for you; undistracted by the siren calls of our world;
For
your glory alone we pray.
In
Jesus Christ name
Amen
