DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER 
Loving Lord, 
You tell us in the Bible that whatever wrong we have done 
you tread down our faults to the bottom of the sea.
We know there is no need to keep thinking about what we have done in the past,
because you pardon the wrongs we have done,
and you delight in showing mercy.
You bind up all our wounds and you renew us by your love.
Lord, you love all that you have made,
and it is your very nature to love and forgive.
Lead us to be generous in accepting and forgiving others
in the same way as you accept and forgive us.
Amen
