Righteous God, who desires justice for all people, show us where we have gone wrong and where we deceive ourselves, that we would not seek your favor while ignoring your ways but give ourselves to a life that pleases you, through Christ our redeemer, who fulfilled the law and now sits at your right hand in the Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘Yet day after day they seek me and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments; they want God on their side.’ – Isa. 58:2
