Gracious god. We come to you in need of your sovereign love for your power exceeds our human power. Your authority exceeds all human authority. Your government will stand when all human government have passed into history. We come to you in confession of our weakness and sin. For we have sought too often our own power. We have fought too selfishly for our own glory. We have clung too tightly to our desire and to our faction and our plan. We come to you seeking the strength to repent. Turn us to your wisdom instead of our own. Turn us to honesty instead of falsehood. Turn us to humility and service instead of pride and selfseeking. We come to you for a blessing. Like jacob, we cling to you and will not let go until you have blessed us for you are good and gracious and loving and in you we put our trust.
