God of grace

God of grace,
we thank you
that you are always willing to forgive us
when we turn to you
in sorrow for what we have done.

It is so difficult
to live holy lives all the time.
We know that we fail so often
and make the same kind of mistakes
over and over again.

We are so aware of our weaknesses
and feel very guilty
that we keep coming back to you so often
for forgiveness.

Yet you are a forgiving God
and we know that you are willing
to forget about the past
and give us a new start,
once we have recognised
that we cannot manage life without you.

Continues...

Amen
