Seek God together
Begin with a moment of silent reflection by saying, “We all need God’s mercy. Let’s close our eyes and think about what we need God’s mercy for right now. In your hearts, ask God to forgive you.”
Then, lead in prayer:
“Lord, we thank You for Your mercy. We are so happy that we can come to You when we mess up. Thank you for dying for us to take away our sin. Oh Risen Savior, You said that we need to have mercy on others the way you have mercy on us. As we sit quietly for a minute, please bring to our minds the people we need to show mercy to.”
After a minute of silence, say the Lord’s Prayer together.
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory now and forever. Amen.“
