Based on Psalm 23
The Lord is our shepherd; we shall not want. 

He makes us lie down in green pastures.

He leads us beside still waters.

He restores our souls.

He leads us in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

We will fear no evil, for You are with us;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort us.

You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies;

You anoint our heads with oil; our cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives,

and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

God of love, in the wrong we have done

and in the good we have not done,

we have sinned in ignorance;

we have sinned in weakness;

we have sinned through our own deliberate fault.

We are truly sorry.

We repent and turn to you.

Forgive us and renew our lives

through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Ephesians 2:4-7

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved — and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

In Christ, God answers us and sets us free.

In Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God.
