You have always kept your promises. Fill us with your understanding, so we will never doubt the ceaseless nature of your covenant. We will follow you, trusting that your promises are true for all eternity.

Ancient of days, you are our God, who reveals who you are through your creation and through us. You reveal to us who you are. You invite us to be your witnesses, to share with others your love and goodness. Thank you for the opportunity to share your love and goodness with others as it draws us closer to you.
You speak, and the whole world hears your voice. To some, your voice sounds like thunder, to others you sound like the wind. All creation hears you, though we do not all remember the sound of your voice. But the wind and waves still know you. The earth melts at the sound of your voice. In your sacred prayer space, you remind us of who you are.
Today, we invite you to reread, rest and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
Lectionary Readings for Today:
Psalm 51:1-12

Not just hidden in your care, but called to service; we go forth with you. We believe your promise that your love and peace go with us; you are with us wherever we go. Bless our footsteps upon your Ancient Path for all our days.
Thank you, LORD of the Sabbath, for inviting us into your prayer space where we find your rest. We trust you by putting aside the work, so we can spend time with you. Thank you, nothing is hidden from you. We cherish life, rest, and healing.
We enter your sacred prayer space, and we are embraced by your light. Your light reveals even the places we have held private in our hearts. You do not condemn us for our dark secrets; Life-giving Spirit lovingly blows into us, pushing the darkness away.
Teach us your ways. We seek to journey in a good way on your Ancient Path. Grace us with your gentle Spirit, so we will treat your creation honourably for all our days.
We are tired and weary on this journey through Lent. Thank you for sharing your sacred space with us. We become aware of our anger and bitterness, and give it to you. Thank you, LORD, for healing us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We enter your sacred prayer space as children of your light. We come to you by our own choosing. You bless us even before we arrive. We are your chosen; you redeemed us from our wandering in the dark wilderness and placed us on a good path.
