A Prayer of Repentance



O Lord, help us to turn and seek you; for you have not forsaken your creatures as we have forsaken you, our Creator. Let us turn and seek you, for we know you are here in our heart when we confess to you, when we cast ourselves upon you and weep in your bosom after all our rugged ways; and you gently wipe away our tears, and we weep more for joy; for you, Lord, who made us, do remake and comfort us.

-Saint Augustine (354-430)

Psalm 122:1

I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord." (HCSB)
