Everlasting God,

  From age to age, you are King.  From the peak of the highest mountains to the depths of the sea, all of creation proclaims your glory.  You have made this earth and all that is in it, and you proclaimed it good.

  At the height of human folly, we chose sin over you.  We chose to worship ourselves, to proclaim that we are wiser than you, and we turned from you to self.  Forgive us, Lord, and break our habit of sinning, that we might remain on the road that leads to life, following the footsteps of Christ.

  This day is a blank slate, an opportunity to praise you, to live for you, to proclaim your name.  Empower us by your Spirit, that we might not fill this day with self-centered actions, but rather would be focused on worshiping you as we were made to do.

Amen
