Amen. * Prayer of the Day: Most gracious Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things and to fear nothing but the loss of your presence, keep us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, so that no clouds of this temporal life may hide from us the light of your eternal love which has been made known to us in Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. * Response: PH 635 “Gloria Patri” Meineke Confession And Prayer Litany for Cadet Sunday Insert Prayer of Confession: Merciful God, we humble ourselves in your presence, confessing our unworthiness and sinfulness in your sight. We have broken your holy laws. We have not sought your kingdom and your righteousness above all things. We have not loved you with all of heart, soul, mind, and strength, and we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. We have not done to others as we would have them do to us. We have been anxious and troubled about many things and have neglected that which belongs to our peace. Most gracious God, forgive us for all of our sins. Cleanse us from the stain of our sin and renew within us a right spirit, through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Silent Prayer and Confession Minister: Amen.
