Heavenly Father, how boldly we approach your throne. We know our sins weakness, we fail to live as you have commanded, and yet we come to you for we trust in Christ. We rejoice in him, our true saviour who carried all our sins to hell, who cast them away from us as far as the east is from the west. And so we come before you with sadness at our failures for you have also planted your Spirit in us, reshaping our desires; but we come before you with joy, for that same Spirit affirms to us your Fatherly love and the trust in your forgiveness.
Amen
