Search us, O God.

Teach us our mortality and remember our feeble frames.

Forgive us our sins and wash us clean.

Heal our wounds and bind us up.

Break the hold that the idols have over us and help us to worship you.

Free us from worldly passions, and increase our desire for Christ.

Lead us by your Holy Spirit into the transforming power of your grace, that we may draw near to you through your Son Jesus, the one who suffered in our place, died and was raised again.

We ask in his name,

Amen.
