Gracious Father, who knows the truth of our hearts, we thank you for your patience and willingness to let us change our minds. Help us to reflect on our choices and turn always towards you, if not at first, then when our hearts allow, through Jesus our teacher, who intercedes for us still before your glorious throne in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘”What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same, and he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.”‘ – Matthew 21:28-31
