Wednesday Daily Prayer

See November Daily Prayer for the opening, closing, and canticle.

Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice!
O let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleading.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness:
for this we revere you.

My soul is waiting for the Lord,
I count on his word.
My soul is longing for the Lord
more than watchman for daybreak.
Let the watchman count on daybreak
and Israel on the Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption,
Israel indeed he will redeem
from all its iniquity.

Reading: 1 Peter 1:15-16

Become holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct, after the likeness of the holy One who called you; remember, Scripture says, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Intercessions

Give us what we need for this day.
Lord may your Kingdom come!
Help us to forgive those who have wronged us.
Lord may your Kingdom come!
Forgive us our sins.
Lord may your Kingdom come!

Prayer

Dear Jesus,
Help us to forgive as you have forgiven us. We ask the Father for this in your name in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
