Spirit of the Lord, who guides us towards righteousness and goodness, help us to turn towards God and seek the Lord when we fall into sin, that not only will we receive forgiveness, but that we might receive the love and grace to set aside our destructive impulses and live in the ways of your kingdom, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
‘Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.’ – Isa. 55:6-7
