            Your Grace and Your Glory are truly amazing, Lord. Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts and your ways are higher than our ways.

Accept our repentance this day, and cleanse our minds so we may become wholesome and pure. We seek this blessing in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray …
