CONFESSION/LAMENT: Band Member
…grieve that we see miracles and experience God, only to have short memories and turn away… repent. Grieve how calloused the world is to the person and works of Jesus. Pray for the world, that they may see God at work and come to faith.

and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
