Blessed are those whose strength is in you, O God of Hosts.  O God, we stand at the gates of your sanctuary seeking pardon.  Life makes its demands and we push you to the margins.  Forgive our mistaken priorities and restore in us the sense of your greatness and your ultimate claim upon our lives.  Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.
