Dear Lord,

All Your words are true; all Your righteous laws are eternal.

We know that we don’t always follow Your laws.

Our sin burdens us.

But You know our thoughts and our hearts.

We come to You in repentance and submission,

and by Your grace and mercy we are freed of our guilt.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior who daily bears our burdens.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
