Father
forgive us that we listen to many voices. We succumb to the pressures of what
everyone else thinks instead of remembering the righteous deeds that you
performed for our fathers.
And so we
forget you our Lord and God.
At those
times please discipline us and call us back.
We
confess to you that we have sinned and we ask that you deliver us out of the
hand of our enemies.
You have
set a king over us. May we fear you, serve you, obey your voice and submit to
your commands.
May we
follow your king, so that it goes well with us.
May we
not turn aside but instead turn towards you with listening hearts.
For your
glory alone.
Amen
1 Samuel 12
