All: Grant almighty God that your people would love your law and seek to obey it with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We know that you gave us your law to guide our steps as we live in a foreign land. Yet, though it is good and displays your holiness, we fall short of all that it requires each day in thought, word, and deed. Forgive us, Lord. Please help us by the eternal Spirit to love you by obeying all that you tell us we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
