Amen. * Prayer of the Day: Eternal God, who has taught us that the weapons of our warfare are not those of this world, but are mighty to the demolishing of strongholds; help us as your soldiers to put on the full armor of God and to fight the good fight of faith by overcoming falsehood with truth, evil with goodness, and hatred with love and so extend the victory of the cross, through him who conquered the powers of darkness, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. * Response: “We Will Glorify” We will glorify the King of kings, we will glorify the Lamb. We will glorify the Lord of lords, for he is the great I Am.
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty, we will bow before his throne; We will worship him in righteousness, we will worship him alone.
Hallelujah to the King of kings, hallelujah to the Lamb; Hallelujah to the Lord of lords, for he is the great I Am.

We do earnestly repent and are sorry for these our sins. The remembrance of them is grievous, and the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father, and for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son, forgive us for all that is past, and grant that we may from now on serve and please you in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your name, through Christ our Lord.
