Psalm Reading

Psalm 26: 1-8 (NRSV taken from BibleGateway)

1 Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. 2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind. 3 For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you. 4 I do not sit with the worthless, nor do I consort with hypocrites; 5 I hate the company of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go around your altar, O Lord, 7 singing aloud a song of thanksgiving, and telling all your wondrous deeds. 8 O Lord, I love the house in which you dwell, and the place where your glory abides.

A Prayer for Accepting Christ

Father, I know that I am a sinner and the only way to forgiveness is through the precious blood of your Son, Jesus. I invite you into my life now to forgive me of my sins and to help me live a life pleasing to you with the help of the Holy Spirit. Change me now, O God, into your humble servant. AMEN

A Prayer for Renewed Commitment

Father God, I know I do not always live up to the expectations of a Christian. I ask that you forgive my sins and accept my humble reaffirmation of your place as first in my life. Continue to mold me into your image so that I might be your hands and feet in this weary world. AMEN.
