Lord God Almighty, who has spoken truth to us from the beginning, teach us to accept the consequences of our actions, whether wise or foolish, yet show us mercy when we have chosen poorly that we might yet rise to praise you again, through Jesus Christ our Savior, who intercedes for us before your throne always with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
“And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the LORD will not answer you in that day.” – 1 Sam. 8:8
