Father, 

For Your glory, please give us clean hearts. For Your glory, restore us to You. We call out to the living God who can forgive us. Help us to desire You. No matter where we walk today, help us seek You and Your glory. We need You more than anything or anyone else. Show us who You are, Lord. Please let Your mercy be known and seen by everyone. When we stumble and fall, please give us Your mercy. When others see how You give us mercy, please let Your glory be seen by them as well. We pray that people everywhere will see and know that You are loving, and You are good. Your steadfast love endures forever. Thank You for being the God with us—Emmanuel. 

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
