Let us now lie down in shame and cover ourselves with dishonor, for we and our ancestors have sinned against the Lord our God. From our childhood to this day we have never obeyed him.”

“if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more. 2Then when you swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ you could do so with truth, justice, and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name.”

Lord God my Father,

I am a sinner by my sin nature, Lord God, I can only be made good by you. Your forgiveness is my only hope at Peace. Thank you for pursuing me without ever letting up and being there for me when I fall. Your delight is all I need to know you and follow you. Thank you for being my God.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
