By 𝘠our Holy Spirit, come and work repentance into our hearts. Help us to see Jesus, the friend of sinners, and to follow Him more faithfully. ⁣ ⁣ Gracious Savior, as a nation we have abandoned Your ways. As a Church, we have been timid and proclaiming Your holiness and righteousness. As a people we have worshiped idols because they demanded so little from us. Hear our cries and forgive our sins so that times of refreshing may come, and you may send Jesus.⁣ ⁣ 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡:⁣ 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵.
